Hello Michael (and others),
I'm sorry for not better explaining. The xml element does exist, though I did not include it in the example I provided. That is the first element that houses all other elements. While it may not be the best choice for an element, I am working with xml that is created by another company, so I cannot control how they have designed their schema. I am only trying to transform it to work with my local system.
There are several DISS_submission'ss all contained in one file, housed within the element called xml. I am trying to sort each of those DISS_submission's into two different output documents, depending on whether their DISS_description@type attribute is either "masters" or "doctoral." So while the example I provided has a type of "doctoral," there are other DISS_submission/DISS_description elements that have a type attribute of "masters."
I hope that provided better clarification. So I am looking to sort each DISS_submission with all child elements into 2 outputs depending on what the DISS_description@type attribute value is, with several DISS_submission 's all contained within one document.
Thanks again.

I am new to the listserv and was hoping that I could find some help. I am working on a transformation that will take xml that describes theses and dissertations and produce two different xml outputs, one with all of the theses and the other with all of the dissertations. This is an example of a single thesis/dissertation xml record:
<xsl:template match="xml">
but I don't see an element named "xml". (It would be a poor choice of element name anyway, but that's by the by.
I would also point out that this:
<xsl:if test="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='masters']"> <xsl:copy-of select="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='masters']"/> </xsl:if>
is equivalent to this:
<xsl:copy-of select="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='masters']"/>
since if there's nothing to copy, then nothing gets copied.
Beyond that, I'm just confused. Is there more than one DISS_submission element perhaps? Are you trying to produce one result document for several DISS_submission elements, or one for each?

There are 3 elements inside DISS_submission that are important: DISS_authorship, DISS_description, and DISS_content. Here is the xsl that Ive been trying so far:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="xml"> <xsl:result-document href="masters.xml">
<xsl:if test="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='masters']"> <xsl:copy-of select="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='masters']"/> </xsl:if>
</xsl:result-document> <xsl:result-document href="doctoral.xml">
<xsl:if test="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='doctoral']"> <xsl:copy-of select="DISS_submission/DISS_description[@type='doctoral']"/> </xsl:if>
</xsl:result-document> </xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
This does actually create two outputs, one for masters and one for theses. However, it only copies the DISS_description element and its children. I want the entire DISS_submission to be copied. Ive tried replacing xsl:copy-of to just DISS_submission but that just creates two new documents with all of the DISS_submission s, not a sort between masters and doctoral.
Im fairly new to xsl and not really a programmer, so forgive me please for any obvious oversights here. XPATH also tends to give me a lot of difficulty, so it could be something simple in there to fix. I'm using Saxon to complete the transform. Thank you for the help and feedback.
