Re: [xsl] Collecting sibling nodes under groupings

["Mark Wilson" <drmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Michael,
Using real data in an XML fragment, my output would look like:

<SubjectList>
   <Subject>Cats
       <Title>All about Cats</Title>
       <Title>Wildcats I have known</Title>
   </Subject>
   <Subject>Dogs
       <Title>The Dog Lovers handbook</Title>
       <Title>Dogs of the American West</Title>
   </Subject>
</SubjectList>

from the original XML:

<EntryList>
   <Entry>
       <Subject>Cats</Subject>
       <Title>All about Cats>
   </Entry>
   <Entry>
       <Subject>Cats</Subject>
       <Title>Wildcats I have known</Title>
   </Entry>
   <Entry>
       <Subject>Dogs</Subject>
        <Title>The Dog Lovers handbook</Title>
   </Entry>
   <Entry>
       <Subject>Dogs</Subject>
       <Title>Dogs of the American West</Title>
   </Entry>
</EntryList>

I hope this is clearer.
Mark
