How do I transmit the value of the id attribute in the XML file down to
the newly created elements?
In your <xsl:apply-templates> you can use <xsl:with-param> to pass the id
attribute value, and then in your <xsl:template> you use <xsl:param> to
declare the expectation of receiving that value. You'll have to do this
for all <xsl:apply-templates> instructions that will be triggered once
engaged, which means you will have to override the built-in template rule
for an element if that is one of the ones being used.
In the fragment below, the id is "something", so the XML that is generated
should look something like this
<p id="something1" c="XXXX">
<p id="something11" c="YYYY"/>
<p id="something12" c="ZZZZ"/>
</p>
for the first case
and
<p id="something1" c="WWWW"/>
for the second case.
Once you have the id value, you can use numbering techniques for the suffix.
A broader question that I have is how to relate (or tie) the nodes in the
main XML file when the context has switched to the lookup file.
By passing your desired value at *every* change in context, as I've
described above.
I hope this helps.
