How to create an element without hardcoding the name. XSLT

Question

I tried this but it does not seem to be valid syntax.

<xsl:element name="$myElementName"></xsl:element>

Answer 1

You may need to surround it with {} to ensure the value is evaluated rather than used as a verbatim string, e.g.

<xsl:element name="{$myElementName}"></xsl:element>
