Re: [xsl] Iterating recursivly on a node changing the element names

[ML mail <mlnospam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for your help, that is pretty much what I
would like to do. Just I have a basic question, how do
I map nsprefix ? I understood that this isn't a
variable, else it would be $nsprefix I guess.

Thanks
Regards
