Hi, I'm pretty new to XSLT and I'm having some trouble with a project. You are thinking procedurally and not declaratively. You need to copy your input to the output and indicate when creating each point of your output the things you need from the input. Can anyone help me with this? I'm just using version 1, not 2. I hope the example below helps. Check out some of the diagrams in chapter 1 of the free XSLT book I have made available with its complete content through the links found at: http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/training/#ptux . . . . . . . . . .
