Subject: [xsl] Flat XML structure 2 Hierachial XML structure
.... help needed
Hi List
I have a XML document (FIGURE 1) which has been created from a MSWord
document.
I need to transform it into the XML document described in FIGURE 2.
This is my first XSLT sheet, and i tried a recursive
solution, which did not seem successful. i am guessing
because the source xml has such a flat structure.
I am looking for some help from the list members - to find
out what the
general solution to
this kind of problem is, and some pointers to some examples
if such things exist.
Many thanks for your help.
Best Regards
Mark Brand
