Subject: Re: [xsl] Collecting sibling nodes under groupings From: "Mark Wilson" <drmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 09:44:42 -0500 |
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>
<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
It's not clear to me what "Some subjects" is. Is this a list of subjects, if
so what form does it take? Are you trying to get a single entry grouped
under more than one subject?

It was suggested that I resubmit my question with a more specific subject line.
I am building a library catalog for my club. I put each book's description in an XML sequence like (but simplified) <List> <Entry> <Subject>Some Subjects</Subject> <Title>Some Title</Title> <Publisher>Some Publisher</Publisher> </Entry> ....... </List>
Using Saxon 8, I then did a grouping using XSLT 2.0's new grouping element so that I get a list of all the subjects, but only a single entry for each. Now I want to create: <List> <Subject>First Subject <Title> First title associated with this subject</Title> <Publisher>Publisher associated with this title</Publisher> <Title> Next title associated with this subject</Title> <Publisher>Publisher associated with this title</Publisher> </Subject> ..... </List> More to the point, I want to collect all of the sibling nodes from an entry with all of the sibling nodes from other entries that share the same subject value. I have really looked and just failed to understand what I am looking at. The examples appear to show how to collect attributes, but not how to collect sibling nodes. My attemps have all failed. Thanks, Mark
