I have been trying to write an xsl transfor for
converting the following src xml to dest xml. No
success yet, wondering if anyone of you have faced
similar problem, appreciate if you could share any
ideas. The problem is how to wrap the OuterTag over
the InnerTag and the OuterTag can be nested.

Hi,

Playing around with 'xsl:apply-templates' and 'xsl:copy' can do the trick (there are plenty of other ways too)

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/Object">
	<Root>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="*[1]"/>
	</Root>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="/Object/*">
	<xsl:copy/>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::Object/*[1]"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::Object/*[1]"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

But I do wonder why the wanted output is not like this:
<Root>
	<HeaderTag>
		<OuterTag>
			<InnerTag/>
		</OuterTag>
		<InnerTag/>
		<OuterTag>
			<OuterTag>
				<InnerTag/>
			</OuterTag>
			<InnerTag/>
		</OuterTag>
	</HeaderTag>
</Root>
