Hi Naomi,

Using an excellent example of G. Ken Holman, posted by him a couple of days
ago, I modified it to the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/figure">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:copy-of select="//indexterm"/>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="indexterm"/>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This produces (with your XML as input, I only added an extra element
<secterm>):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<figure>
<indexterm>
<primary>special figure</primary>
<secterm>xxx</secterm>
</indexterm>
<title>
	This is the figure caption text
	</title>
</figure>

Cheers,
<prs/>

Subject: [xsl] Move (ascend) an element

I'm trying to move the <indexterm> up in the tree,
from:

<figure>
	<title>
		<indexterm>
		<primary>special figure</primary>
		</indexterm>
	This is the figure caption text
	</title>
</figure>

to

<figure>
	<indexterm>
	<primary>special figure</primary>
	</indexterm>
	<title>This is the figure caption text</title> </figure>

I have code that does it part way, but won't handle any <secondary> elements
that might also be contained within the <indexterm>:

<xsl:template
match="figure[descendant::title[descendant::indexterm]]">
<xsl:copy><indexterm><primary>
<xsl:value-of
select="descendant::indexterm"/></primary></indexterm>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- remove old indexterm -->
<xsl:template
match="indexterm[ancestor::title[ancestor::figure]]">
</xsl:template>

Is there some kind of value of select that will grab the <indexterm> and any
elements under it, instead of me recreating them in my xsl?  Any ideas.
Thanks!

Naomi
