    copied!<p>I'm trying to convert this XML :- </p> <pre><code>&lt;list&gt; &lt;unit&gt; &lt;data1&gt;a&lt;/data1&gt; &lt;data2&gt;b&lt;/data2&gt; &lt;data3&gt;c&lt;/data3&gt; &lt;/unit&gt; &lt;/list&gt; </code></pre> <p>to this :- </p> <pre><code>&lt;list&gt; &lt;unit&gt; &lt;category1&gt; &lt;data1&gt;a&lt;/data1&gt; &lt;data2&gt;b&lt;/data2&gt; &lt;/category1&gt; &lt;category2&gt; &lt;data3&gt;c&lt;/data3&gt; &lt;/category2&gt; &lt;/unit&gt; &lt;/list&gt; </code></pre> <p>using XSL. I'm using the following XSL:- </p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:s="some_namespace"&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="@*|node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="//s:unit" xml:space="preserve"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;category1&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="./s:data1"/&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="./s:data2"/&gt; &lt;/category1&gt; &lt;category2&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="./s:data3"/&gt; &lt;/category2&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now, this preserves the indentation within but completely messes it up w.r.t. list. This is what I get :- </p> <pre><code> &lt;list&gt; &lt;unit&gt; &lt;category1&gt; &lt;data1&gt;a&lt;/data1&gt; &lt;data2&gt;b&lt;/data2&gt; &lt;/category1&gt; &lt;category2&gt; &lt;data3&gt;c&lt;/data3&gt; &lt;/category2&gt; &lt;/unit&gt; &lt;/list&gt; </code></pre> <p>What am I missing here? </p>
