We are not getting different page and text as expected in the output XML format using XSL-CodePudding

XSL is a language for expressing style sheets. An XSL style sheet is, like with CSS, a file that describes how to display an XML document of a given type. Therefore using xml I want convert complete XML into simple XML.

I am getting the XML file from the ABBYY FineReader which is too complex. All I need to convert it into simplified XML. I have made a XSL file to transform the src.xml to target.xml. But I am not getting the correct expected output file.

If anyone have any idea regarding this please help me as soon as possible.

Here is Complex XML file which I want to convert into simplified XML.

Why don't you do simply:

XSLT 2.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.abbyy.com/FineReader_xml/FineReader10-schema-v1.xml">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/document">
    <document>
        <xsl:for-each select="page">
            <page>
                <xsl:for-each select="block">
                    <block blockType="{@blockType}">
                       <xsl:for-each select="text">
                           <text>
                                <xsl:for-each select="par">
                                    <paragraph>
                                        <line>
                                            <xsl:value-of select="line"/>
                                        </line>
                                    </paragraph>
                                </xsl:for-each>
                            </text>
                        </xsl:for-each>
                    </block>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </page>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </document>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Or perhaps even simpler:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
xpath-default-namespace="http://www.abbyy.com/FineReader_xml/FineReader10-schema-v1.xml">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="block">
    <block blockType="{@blockType}">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="text"/>    
    </block>        
</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="par">
    <paragraph>
        <line>
            <xsl:value-of select="line"/>
        </line>
    </paragraph>
</xsl:template>
        
</xsl:stylesheet>
