Given:
<DOCUMENT context="783926097">
<TABLE id="R997"/>
</DOCUMENT>
I want to convert the above into:
<DOCUMENT context="783926097" schema="TABLE"
name="R997"/>
The logic is: Get the first child element's name (TABLE) and store it in
the "schema" attribute. Please note that I can't
hard code the element name "TABLE" - I need to get the name automatically.
This way, I can use the same XSL to
convert the following document:
<DOCUMENT context="783926097">
<CHAIR id="R998"/>
</DOCUMENT>
into
<DOCUMENT context="783926097" schema="CHAIR"
name="R998"/>
How can I do this in XSL? Please help..
