I'm struggling with XSLT. I need to copy an entire xml file to a new xml file. The input and output should be identical except for the addition of some extra tags around certain elements.
Consider the two versions:
Notice the "extra" tags around the "tr" element. Essentially I want to copy the file, but re-write the "tr" element by surrounding it with additional tags. That's the simplified version.
In actuality, imagine there are multiple "tr" elements, and I wanted the "extra" tags around every group of three:
I appreciate any assistance or references.

xml Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

If that's a bit too much to tackle, then an explanation of the basic technique to modify a single child element would at least get me started. If I had this for example:
And I want to copy it, but wanted to transform the bread element to:
xml Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
And I want to copy it, but wanted to transform the bread element to:
<bread>Wheat</bread>, how would I do that? •

Ok, figured out this much:
That's a huge step in the right direction, but of course it puts the "extra" tags around every "tr". I want to group every three "tr" elements. Anyone?

Am I confusing everyone? Or do we not have any XML pros as members? Let me restate as simply but as completely as possible.
Given the following XML input file:
I want to produce the following result file:
So far I have the following XSLT. It's overly complex, it's meant to provide multiple points to insert the necessary logic. It produces:

I solved this with a combination of two recursive templates and creative use of the "copy-of" function.
