RE: [xsl] Moving an element along with data manipulation

["Pankaj Chaturvedi" <pankaj.chaturvedi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks David. That's what I need.

I will also look into my codes and modify them as per your suggestions. 

===========
The current node is an author, so if there is a follwing sibling author
then  count(//author) 9which is an expensive test, searching teh entire
document) can not possibkly be 1.

Does such indirect test affects the performance?

You are processing auuthor elements after title, so just modify the
processing of meta not to process author children:


<xsl:template match="meta">
<meta>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::author)]"/>
</meta>
</xsl:template>


that is all you need to do, but some other comments:

<xsl:when test="count(following-sibling::author)=0">
you don't need to count them all and then check if it is zero, just test
if teher are any.

<xsl:when test="following-sibling::author">



<xsl:when test="count(following-sibling::author)=1 and count(//author)!=1">

The current node is an author, so if there is a follwing sibling author
then  count(//author) 9which is an expensive test, searching teh entire
document) can not possibkly be 1.
so this can also be simplified to
<xsl:when test="following-sibling::author">
