create an attribute and populate it with node value xslt

Question

I want to do this using xslt, new to this and struggling.

<xsl:template match="h1"> 
<h1 title=""> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> 
</h1> 
</xsl:template>

Example XML

<h1>This is the inner text <para>some other text</para>
</h1>

Desired output

  <h1 title="This is the inner text"><para>some other text</para>
</h1>

<xsl:template match="h1"> <h1 title=""> <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/> </h1> </xsl:template> — Greg

I believe the following should work. You can remove your template for h1 as it would be superfluous:

<xsl:template match="h1/node()[1][self::text()]">
  <xsl:attribute name="title">
    <xsl:value-of select="." />
  </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

This template matches a text node when it is the first child node of an h1, and substitutes it with a title attribute whose value is that of the text node.
