Re: [xsl] grouping elements under a new single parent element

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Look at the recursive copy template. You can start with

<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
   <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and add another template to process author-group differently, by 
creating the authors element and copying there the author elements, then 
copy the rest of the nodes:

<xsl:template match="author-group">
   <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
       <authors>
           <xsl:apply-templates select="author"/>
       </authors>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[not(self::author)]"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

P.S. Note that your input is not wellformed, you need
<sup>wkqwj</sup> instead of <sup>wkqwj<sup>.

Best Regards,
George
