Subject:  Transforming elements into attributes


Hi,

Is there a nice 'readable' way to transform elements into attributes?

Currently, I need to copy and paste for each one.

XSL:

  <xsl:template match="form">
    <form>
      <xsl:if test="@name">
        <xsl:attribute name="name">
          <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:if test="@action">
        <xsl:attribute name="action">
          <xsl:value-of select="action"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:if test="@method">
        <xsl:attribute name="method">
          <xsl:value-of select="method"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </form>
  </xsl:template>

XML:

  <form>
    <name>form</name>
    <url>submit.do</url>
    <method>post</method>
    <content>
      ...
    </content>
  </form>

Daniel
