    <p>I'm new to XSLT and I'm trying to achieve a reasonably simple restructure. I have an xml document representing a person (for illustrative purposes). I have numerous elements under person. From these I want to extract the <code>first_name</code> and <code>last_name</code> (and crucially others) into a new <code>full_name</code> element. I've seen the question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6156307/how-to-use-xslt-to-convert-a-simple-piece-of-xml/6156761#6156761">here</a>. The "renameWrapped" approach works. However it's not generic enough as I can't guarantee the ordering of the elements in the input document.</p> <p>I have the following XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;myname:Person xmlns:myname="http://www.myname.co.uk/def"&gt; &lt;myname:attr1&gt;some value&lt;/myname:attr1&gt; &lt;myname:first_name&gt;john&lt;/myname:first_name&gt; &lt;myname:last_name&gt;smith&lt;/myname:last_name&gt; &lt;myname:attr2&gt;some value&lt;/myname:attr2&gt; &lt;!-- other person stuff --&gt; &lt;/myname:Person&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is transformed by the following xsl:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:myname="http://www.myname.co.uk/def"&gt; &lt;xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="@*|node()" name="identity"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="myname:Person"&gt; &lt;myname:Person&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()[local-name() != 'first_name' and local-name() != 'Person' and local-name() != 'last_name']"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;myname:FullName&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="myname:first_name | myname:last_name"/&gt; &lt;/myname:FullName&gt; &lt;/myname:Person&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>However this is giving me the following output with <code>myname:Person</code> being duplicated:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;myname:Person xmlns:myname="http://www.myname.co.uk/def"&gt; &lt;myname:Person&gt; &lt;myname:attr1&gt;some value&lt;/myname:attr1&gt; &lt;myname:attr2&gt;some value&lt;/myname:attr2&gt; &lt;/myname:Person&gt; &lt;myname:FullName&gt; &lt;myname:first_name&gt;john&lt;/myname:first_name&gt; &lt;myname:last_name&gt;smith&lt;/myname:last_name&gt; &lt;/myname:FullName&gt; &lt;/myname:Person&gt; </code></pre> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
