I’d link to transform XML with attributes like the ‘name’ attribute in the following:

<books>   <book name='TheBumperBookOfXMLProgramming'/>   <book name='XsltForDummies'/> </books>

into elements called what was in the name attribute:

<books>   <TheBumperBookOfXMLProgramming/>   <XsltForDummies/> </books>

using XSLT. Any ideas?

  1. You can create elements by name using xsl:element:

    <?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='/'>     <books>       <xsl:apply-templates />     </books>    </xsl:template>    <xsl:template match='book'>     <xsl:element name='{@name}' />   </xsl:template>  </xsl:stylesheet>
