Dear All,

Input XML:

  <map>
     <source>bib-reference</source>
     <source>@id</source>
     <source>@class</source>
     <target>reference/citation</target>
     <target>@id</target>
     <target>@type</target>
  </map>

Required output:

<xsl:template match="bib-reference">
     <xsl:element name="reference">
       <xsl:element name="citation">
        <xsl:attribute name="id">
           <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute name="type">
           <xsl:value-of select="@class"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:element>
  <xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>



Stylesheet used:

<xsl:template match="map">
               <xsl:if test="count(child::*) &gt; 3 and
not(starts-with(source,'@'))">
                       <mac:template match="{source[1]}">
                               <xsl:variable name="nestedele"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/>
                               <xsl:call-template name="buildtree">
                                       <xsl:with-param name="position"
select="1"/>
                               </xsl:call-template>
                       </mac:template>
               </xsl:if>
       </xsl:template>
       <xsl:template name="buildtree">
               <xsl:param name="position"/>
               <xsl:variable name = "element"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')[$position]"/>
               <xsl:if test = "string($element)">
                       <mac:element name="{$element}">
                              <xsl:for-each select="target">
                               <xsl:if test="not($position = 1) and
exists(source[2])">
                                       <mac:attribute
name="{substring-after(target[$position],'@')}">
                                               <mac:value-of
select="{source[$position]}"/>
                                       </mac:attribute>
                               </xsl:if>
                              </xsl:for-each>
                               <xsl:call-template name="buildtree">
                                       <xsl:with-param name="position"
select="$position +1"/>
                               </xsl:call-template>
                                <mac:apply-templates/>
                       </mac:element>
               </xsl:if>
       </xsl:template>


Ouput with the above stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="bib-reference">
     <xsl:element name="reference">
       <xsl:element name="citation">
        <xsl:attribute name="id">
           <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:element>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  <xsl:element>
 </xsl:template>

In the resultant output I am getting template only for first attribute
and 2nd attribute is missing.
<xsl:apply-templates> is appearing twice resulting duplication of the
content. Please suggest how to get the required output.

Thanks & Regards,
Ganesh
