Re: [xsl] automatic creation of nested elements

["Ganesh Babu N" <nbabuganesh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I am facing two problems in the given stylesheet.

1. <xsl:apply-templates/> is coming in both the elements resulting
duplication of the content.
2. multiple attributes are not getting created. Only single
attributing is getting created.

Please guide me how to achieve the above two points.

Regards,
Ganesh
