Re: creating top-level elements from within child elements

2005-02-22 06:21:17

  but I dont have any clue on how to create a sibling element. Could 
  you advise me on that.

templates are a "template" showing a fragment of the output

so
<xsl:template match="foo">
 <A1/>
 <A2/>
</xsl:template>

generates siblings:

 <A1/>
 <A2/>

and

<xsl:template match="foo">
 <A1>
   <A2/>
 </A1>
</xsl:template>

generates children:
 <A1>
   <A2/>
 </A1>


If I remember correctly you had 

<A1>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</A1>

which is an instruction to place the result tree fragment generated by
applying templates as the child of an A1 element.

if you don't want the result to be placed as a child of A1  don't put it
at that point in the stylesheet, place teh A1 element it in the
stylesheet where you want it in the result, as a sibling of A2.
