Re: [xsl] Creating child elements to existing Parent elements

Please try this stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/x">
 <Ingredients>
   <xsl:for-each select="Spices/Spice | MeatParentTags/Meats/Meat |
Vegetables/Vegetable">
     <Ingredient>
       <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
     </Ingredient>
   </xsl:for-each>
 </Ingredients>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This when applied to XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<x>
 <Spices>
   <Spice name="black pepper" id="11" />
   <Spice name="ginger powder" id="12" />
   <Spice name="salt" id="13" />
 </Spices>
 <MeatParentTags>
   <Meats>
     <Meat name="pork" id="21" />
   </Meats>
 </MeatParentTags>
 <Vegetables>
   <Vegetable name="Green Pepper" id="34" />
</Vegetables>
</x>

Produces the desired output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Ingredients>
  <Ingredient name="black pepper" id="11"/>
  <Ingredient name="ginger powder" id="12"/>
  <Ingredient name="salt" id="13"/>
  <Ingredient name="pork" id="21"/>
  <Ingredient name="Green Pepper" id="34"/>
</Ingredients>

Hi all,
I was not able to find out how to create child elements to existing
Parent elements after going through my XSLT document and searching on
the web. I might not be searching with the right key words. Here is my
problem:

My Source xml document looks something like this:
<Spices>
     <Spice name="black pepper" id="11"/>
     <Spice name="ginger powder" id="12"/>
      <Spice name="salt" id="13"/>
</Spices>
....
<MeatsParentTags>
......
    <Meats>
         <Meat name="pork" id="21"/>
    </Meats>
</MeatParentTags>
.....
<Vegetables>
        <Vegetable name="Green Pepper" id="34/>
 </Vegetables>

My desired output would be a combination of these tags.
<Ingredients>
       <Ingredient name="black pepper" id="11"/>
       <Ingredient name="ginger powder" id="12"/>
      <Ingredient name="salt" id="13"/>
       <Ingredient  name="pork" id="21"/>
        <Ingredient name="Green Pepper" id="34/>
</Ingredients>

My XSLT would create element <Ingredients> when processing <Spices>.
Later on it should only create <ingredient> element as child element
to <Ingredients> element when processing <Meat> or <Vegetable>. Any
suggestion on how this can be achieved?

I appreciate your help!
