Hi, sincerest thanks to Russell Jones for his help. His suggestion does afantastic job of promoting the "Sub-Shot" nodes replacing the parent nodeas necessary. I'm trying to get the template to work alongside another (mutuallyexclusive) template which looks after the functionality for the "EXACT COPY"of the other nodes from the original xml document. I cannot get the codeto apply Russell's template when necessary. Any suggestions as to what I'mdoing wrong, or an elegant solution?<xsl:template match="/"><xsl:choose><xsl:when test="name()='Shot'"><xsl:apply-templates select="node()" mode="process_shots"/></xsl:when><xsl
therwise><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsltherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:template><xsl:template match="Shot" mode="process_shots"><xsl:choose><xsl:when test="count(child::Shot) > 0"><xsl:copy-of select="child::Shot"/></xsl:when><xsltherwise><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsltherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:template>Best regards,ADK.>> Hi.
