Question

I have this xml with 3 nodes with the same name <person>. The problem is that 2 of them are under one parent node <people>, and the other one is under another <people> node, so when the Xsl loops it gets only the first 2.

Xml:

<data>
  <people>
    <person></person>
    <person></person>
  </people>
  <people>
    <person></person>
  </people>
</data>

Xsl loop:

<xsl:for-each select="//person">

Does someone know what I need to do to see all 3 of them?

Thanks.

Rather than an xsl-foreach a better approach would be to use a template that matches the person nodes:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!-- match any person element that is a descendant of the root -->
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//person"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="person">
   <!-- transform the person element here -->
</xsl:template match="person">
