Re: XSLT modifying an xml dom tree?

Hi,

I find the XSLT programming model very alien and un-intuitive. The most
restrictive thing is that I cannot maintain state across
function/template calls.

This is what I am looking to do

Input document:

<booksinformation>
<book>
	<title>book title 1</title>
	<author>Kramer</author>
</book>
<book>
	<title>book title 2</title>
	<author>Terry</author>
</book>
<book>
	<title>book title 3</title>
	<author>Terry</author>
</book>
</booksinformation>

Output document:

<booksinformation>
<bookdata>
	<book author='1'>
		<title>book title 1</title>
	</book>
	<book author='2'>
		<title>book title 2</title>
	</book>
	<book author='2'>
		<title>book title 3</title>
	</book>
</bookdata>
<authordata>
	<author id="1" name="Kramer"/>
	<author id="2" name="Terry"/>
</authordata>
</booksinformation>

The output document avoid duplication of data by maintaining a subtree
for authors into which the bookdata can point.

Thank you,
Prashanth
