Just add the Xpath query after the variable containing the XML from the document.

<xsl:value-of select="$copy_current_file//category"/>

Will get you all the category-nodes. So all you need to do is construct the Xpath to retrieve the nodes with attribute values you need.

For writing Xpaths this guide is a good intro (se the list to the left):
