Re: [xsl] Moving an element along with data manipulation

You are processing auuthor elements after title, so just modify the
processing of meta not to process author children:


<xsl:template match="meta">
<meta>
<xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(self::author)]"/>
</meta>
</xsl:template>


that is all you need to do, but some other comments:

<xsl:when test="count(following-sibling::author)=0">
you don't need to count them all and then check if it is zero, just test
if teher are any.

<xsl:when test="following-sibling::author">



<xsl:when test="count(following-sibling::author)=1 and count(//author)!=1">

The current node is an author, so if there is a follwing sibling author
then  count(//author) 9which is an expensive test, searching teh entire
document) can not possibkly be 1.
so this can also be simplified to
<xsl:when test="following-sibling::author">
