The documentation of interest in your case is: XMLmind XML Editor - Commands http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/index.html This documents contains the reference of all native XXE commands and explains how to write custom macro-commands. > Combined with some macro commands it should be possible to get the attribute > value of the preceeding sibling (the old element), and add the attribute with > the specified value to the current element.

You need to write the macro by hand and use in it: * The (XPath-based) <get> child element of <macro> to obtain the value of the attribute. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/xpath_get.html * The (XPath-based) <set> child element of <macro> to save the value of the attribute in a variable. * Command putAttribute to set the attribute on the newly created element.
