This template should do the same recursive copy of its children, but only after adding the new attribute: <xsl:template match="foo"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:attribute name="newAttr">newValue</xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> It will match at a higher priority than the other template, so you don't have to worry about conflicts. > and saving the XML file with the added attribute Saving the XSLT processor's output is a matter for the process that invoked the XSLT processor.
