OK I figured out my own question (hurray). I needed to use a parameter:
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:param name="lastCatName"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></xsl:param>
<xsl:if test="@level=1">
<category>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::category">
<xsl:if test="@parent=$lastCatName">
<subcat>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</subcat>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</category>

Thanks this almost does it but instead of the if statement testing
"level=2" I really need to test the name parameter of the current
category node to see if it is the same as the parent parameter any of
the following category nodes (see original post at bottom) and this
has me scratching my head... Any suggestions??

Hi,
I assume that you want to put all the category with level2 under
level1 as
subcat.
You can have a stylesheet like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/cats">
<cats>
<xsl:apply-templates select="category"/>
</cats>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:if test="@level=1">
<category>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:for-each select="following::category">
<xsl:if test="@level=2">
<subcat>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</subcat>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</category>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This will take care of the case excluding a sibling with the category
level
as 1 also inaddition to your requirement.
Hope I answered your query,

Subject: [xsl] Process same template 2X?
I want to transform this xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cats>
<category level="1" name="Business Law"/>
<category level="2" name="Corporations" parent="Business Law">
</category>
<category level="2" name="Nonprofit Corporations*" parent="Business
Law">
</category>
</cats>
Into this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cats>
<category name="Business Law"/>
<subcat name="Corporations"/>
<subcat name="Nonprofit Corporations*">
</category>
</cats>
It seems it should be simple but is giving me fits. Current stylesheet
(stinks) is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/cats">
<cats>
<xsl:apply-templates select="category"/>
</cats>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:if test="@level=1">
<category>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<subcat>
<xsl:attribute name="name">
<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::category/@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</subcat>
</category>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Current stlyesheet returns this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cats>
<category name="Business Law">
<subcat name="Corporations"/>
</category>
</cats>
the 3rd category node in the orginal xml does not get processed how can
I assure all fllowing category nodes get processed?
