XML rules and XML attributes
The following XML rule adds attributes to XML elements based on the content of their “name” element.
When you need to find an element by its text contents, copying or moving XML element contents to XML
attributes attached to their parent XML element can be very useful in XML-rule scripting. While the subset
of XPath supported by XML rules cannot search the text of an element, it can find elements by a specified
attribute value. For the complete script, see AddAttribute.
