Re: [xsl] same content refuses to convert

[a kusa <akusa8@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have tried debugging this code with no luck!

Michael, yes that intent is to create a <step2> for every <item> in
<list2> . And list2 can have a nested list3.

There is a typo in my code. Here is the corrected one. Sorry about that.

<xsl:template match="list2">

<xsl:for-each select="item">
<step2>
<text>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(following-sibling::list3)]"/>
</text>

</step2>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][not(self::item)]|list3|item"/>
</xsl:for-each>


</xsl:template>


So if the content of an <item> is the same from the one following it,
the second <item> is getting skipped. I just cannot figure out what
the issue is here. Can someone please help me.
