1. Problem Statement

I am wondering if there is a way to transfer over a parent element with all of its children elements that have the same element name using XSLT.

For example, if the original xml file is like this:

<parent>
<child>1</child>
<child>2</child>
<child>3</child>
</parent>

And I try to parse it with xsl using:

<xsl:for-each select="parent">
<xsl:value-of select="child"></xsl:value-of>
</xsl:for-each>

wanting something like this:

1

2

3

but I get this:

1

2. How to solve?

<xsl:for-each select="parent/child">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

Then, will display as what you want:

1

2

3
