Re: [xsl]Clarify Add an element to the result xml document

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Lynda,

then it's easy:

<xsl:template match="MessageID">
  <xsl:copy>
  <!-- here the copy template is applied only to possible attributes -->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
    <xsl:copy>
      <!-- here the copy template is applied to attributes and nodes -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
