How to include the node XML in my XSLT text output?

Question

I\'m trying to convert an XML file into a flat, pipe-delimited file with XSLT (for bulk-loading into Postgres). I would like the last column in my output to be the actual X

Answer 1

I am not sure if this is a recommended solution, but you could try setting the output method to xml, and then just using the xsl:copy-of function.

So, the following XSLT

 
   
    
   
     
    | 
     
    |  
    
     
    
 
   
  

When applied to your sample XML, generates the following output

Python Does Everythig|Smith|Smith
Postgres is Neat|Wesson|Wesson
