Hi Dipesh,

I thought of using "xsl:if" and "xsl::choose" but this wont solve my problem
as it is used for testing some data contect as of my knowledge.

Either of these can be used to evaluate any condition expressible in XPath -- the presence or absence of a node of a given kind (by name, type, content) is definitely possible (we do it all the time).

For example, <xsl:if test="child::para"> tests true if there is an element node named "para" inside the context node (i.e. a child of it). This can also be written test="para".

If you send a sample of source XML and desired output, possibly with some XSLT code you have (almost) working, we can be more specific.

Cheers,
Wendell
