<xsl:element> ??

<http://nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/xsl/xsl/foil99.html>

For example,

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:element name="myNewDoc">
      <xsl:attribute name="test-attribute">
	<xsl:text>Value of Attribute</xsl:text>
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

Original XML:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
  Hi This is the text of the root node entitled test
  <test-a>
    and a
  </test-a>
  <test-b>
    and b
  </test-b>
</test>

Transformed XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myNewDoc test-attribute="Value of Attribute">
  Hi This is the text of the root node entitled test
  
    and a
  
  
    and b
  
</myNewDoc>
