    copied!<p>You are missing the idea of a <em>context node</em>. Within a <code>xsl:for-each</code>, everything you refer to is about or relative to the selected nodes. So, for instance, within <code>&lt;xsl:for-each select="News/Sport"&gt;</code>, the context node is the <code>Sport</code> elements, and a test like <code>&lt;xsl:if test="local-name()='Basketball'"&gt;</code> is always going to be <em>false</em> because the local name is always <code>Sport</code>.</p> <p>It looks like you want just <code>&lt;xsl:if test="Basketball"&gt;</code> which tests whether there are any <code>Basketball</code> child nodes of the current <code>Sport</code> node.</p> <p>The same thing applies to <code>&lt;xsl:value-of select="News/Sport/Basketball/Phrases/Phrase"/&gt;</code>. Because everything is relative to the <code>Sport</code> node, XSLT is looking for <code>News/Sport/Basketball/Phrases/Phrase</code> <em>within the <code>Sport</code> element</em>, which never exists.</p> <p>In addition, you can just put text in literally: there is no need for an <code>xsl:text</code> element here, so your code should look like</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:for-each select="News/Sport"&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="Basketball"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Basketball Sport&lt;/p&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="Basketball/Phrases/Phrase"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; </code></pre> <p>You can refine this further by adding a <em>predicate</em> to the <code>for-each</code> selection, so that it matches only <code>Sport</code> elements with a <code>Basketball</code> child. Like this</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:for-each select="News/Sport[Basketball]"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Basketball Sport&lt;/p&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="Basketball/Phrases/Phrase"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:for-each&gt; </code></pre>
