Re: [xsl] Assembling nodes from parts outside of the current node

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the help!

I applied your transformation to the original document, but the output
doesn't include the part data. Any idea why?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>	
		<insects>
			<insect>
				<name>Bee</name>
				<parts>
					<part/>
					<part/>
				</parts>
			</insect>
			<insect>
				<name>Caterpillar</name>
				<parts>
					<part/>
				</parts>
			</insect>
			<insect>
				<name>Butterfly</name>
				<parts>
					<part/>
					<part/>
				</parts>
			</insect>
		</insects>

Thanks,
Mark
