Hi again. i MUST change the DTD. The xml nodes are list values defined in the DTD, even that i disslike it this way i must support it since the product is build this way. i do use <xmlvalidate> to validate the output i generated but again all teh manipulation is done using 'replace' task and appending teh text to the head of the list instead of doing it in the end.

For manipulating the xml file I would try the xmltasks [1,2]. For the DTD - why you have to change the DTD? You can change the DTD so that it allows the have your <node> (but it dont have to be there).
