Hi All,

I have following XML File:

<Header></Header>
<Category></Category>
<Item1></Item1>
<Item2></Item2>
<Category></Category>
<Item3></Item3>


Could someone please send me an example what is the XSLT text to
convert it to:

<Header>
<Category>
<Item1></Item1>
<Item2></Item2>
</Category>
<Category>
<Item3></Item3>
</Category>
</Header>



Thanks is advance,

Homer

I hope you don't mean that. I hope you mean

<doc>
<Header></Header>
<Category></Category>
<Item></Item>
<Item></Item>
<Category></Category>
<Item></Item>
</doc>

(in other words, three occurrences of the Item element type, not one
each of three separately-named element types Item1, Item2, and Item3).

Thanks so much Peter. It was a Big help.

This is a small problem. I am getting following result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<Header/>
<Category>
<Item/>
<Item/>
</Category>
<Category>
<Item/>
</Category>
</root>

Instead of:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<Header>
<Category>
<Item></Item>
<Item></Item>
</Category>
<Category>
<Item></Item>
</Category>
</Header>
</root>

Do you know why?
