Subject: [xsl] Getting a distinct list of node names From: Manuel Holtgrewe <purestorm@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2003 20:22:05 +0100 |
Hi Maybe this cannot be accomplished with plain Xslt and my mail is OT, but I do not know a better place to start asking. I need to get a distinct list of the node names from all children of one node. For example, if I have: <node:definition> <form:validator /> <form:validator /> <form:filter /> </node:definition> I want to be able to retrieve a list of the names of all tags used within node:definition. However, it should contain each tag name only once: ('form:validator', 'form:filter') I tried to accomplish this trying to build a string containing all tag names but this failed because of the nature of xsl:variables, recursion did not work, too (I found no way :/). I also tried the set:distinct method from exslt but it did not work, too, because you cannot specify a path like "*/name()" and so you cannot select all the names (I guess it is because paths always only specify nodes and a node name is a plain string?). Bests, Manuel Holgrewe -- Unix definitely is a user friendly operating system. - It is only picky with its friends. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
