do-clone-xpath

The <do-clone-xpath> action causes deep copies of the nodes selected by src-expression to be added to the set of elements selected by dest-expression. If before is not specified the non-attribute cloned node(s) are appended after any existing children of the selected elements. If before is specified then it is evaluated relative to each of the elements selected by expression to determine which of the children to insert before. If before evaluates to an empty nodeset or a nodeset that does not contain any children of the selected element, then the non-attribute cloned node(s) are appended after any existing children, otherwise the non-attribute cloned node(s) will be inserted before each of the nodes in the nodeset selected by before that are children of the selected node.

Example

<do-append-xml-element expression=".." name="delete"/>

<do-clone-xpath dest-expression="../delete[last()]" src-expression="@*"/>
