XSLT Help

[Himanshu Jhamb]

Hi,
I am working on an XSL and am facing a problem thats been troubling me for a while. Being new to XSL, this might turn out to be a basic problem... any help would be nice.

Source Document looks like:

<TopLevelTag>
<Level1>
<Lv1Tag0/>
<Lv1Tag1/>
<Lv1Tag2/>
<Lv1Tag3/>
<Lv1Tag4/>
</Level1>
</TopLevelTag>

I want my XSL to work on tags Lv1Tag1, Lv1Tag2, Lv1Tag3 and transform the above to:

<TopLevelTag>
<Level1>
<Lv1Tag1/>
</Level1>
<Level1>
<Lv1Tag2/>
</Level1>
<Level1>
<Lv1Tag3/>
</Level1>
</TopLevelTag>

I tried thinking of using <xsl:for-each> but could not think up a solution. Tried exploring the internet for XPATH options available, but to no avail.

I dont know if it helps, but I tried to see if a regular expression can be used in the XPATH somehow. But, I guess thats more of a XSLT2.0 feature (I have to work on 1.0) & I cannot use that.

So, how far did you go with your ideas.....
Please post your style sheet so we know where to start.
I don't want to do all the homework for you.
Thanks.

You may want to consider using the xsl:copy-of tag. You could make a template that matches all children of the level1 node, and for each makes a copy of the parent and makes a copy of the current node inside it.
