Use of XSL:variable in XML-Attribute

[schaf]

Hi !
I have a little question. With my XSL File I add additional XML-Tags to
an existing XML-File. But I would like to use a xsl:variable for
inserting a value into an additional xml-attribute.

<xsl:template match="Header">
<xsl:copy >
<xsl:apply-templates select="SubHeader"/>
<xsl:variable name="ProjectName" select="SubHeader/@name"/>
<SubDir name=$ProjectName>
....

Because <subDir> would be treated like an XML-Tag, it is not possible
to add the value of the variable in the name attribute !?!

My destination should look like:

.....
<SubDir name="TestProject">
.....
Is this possible ? Or do I use to "Exportz" the additional XML-Tag in a
second XML file ?

Thanks

You copy an xml-file and would like to add an additiona attribute to an
element-node?

Why do you not use xsl:attribute?

Perhaps you can show us a minimal example input and output
document-fragment.

Hi,

<xsl:template match="Header">
<xsl:copy >
<xsl:apply-templates select="SubHeader"/>
<xsl:variable name="ProjectName" select=""/>
<SubDir name=$ProjectName>

Attribute Value Template:
<SubDir name="{$ProjectName}">
or even: <SubDir name="{SubHeader/@name}">

(The string between the {curly} brackets is interpreted as an XPath expression)
