RE: [xsl] How can I placed end tags?

Firstly, you don't create tags in XSLT, you create element nodes in a tree.
This is a very important distinction.

If you don't know the name of the element you want to create at compile
time, use xsl:element: for example

<xsl:element name="{@text:name}">
  . . .
</xsl:element> 

Your data is extremely peculiar, because it has things like "ce:author" and
"/ce:author" as the values of attribute nodes, in other words it contains
markup within the data. You may therefore be better off generating text
output rather than XML output, something like this:

<xsl:output method="text">
<xsl:template match="text:user-field-get">
  &lt;<xsl:value-of select="."/>&gt;
</xsl:template>

However, I would go back to the application architecture. Why is anyone
generating this weird XML in the first place?
