RE: [xsl] Wrapping two different elements in parent element.

[Vladimir Rodimyuk <VladimirR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Bruno!
In case you are using XSL 1.0 you may find it helpful:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="something">
        <something_else>
            <usg>
                <xsl:apply-templates select="word_case"/>
            </usg>
        </something_else>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="word_case">
        <xsl:variable name="node-index"
              select="count(preceding-sibling::word_case)+1"/>
        <form>
            <case><xsl:value-of select="."/></case>
            <orth>
                <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::word_form[1]"/>
            </orth>
        </form>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

BTW, is it misprinting in your post or this is malformed source XML? I mean
the following:
>
> <word>G</word_case>
       ^--- wrong tag
>
> <word>some_word_G</word_form>
       ^--- wrong tag


Respectfully,
Volodymyr Rodymyuk
