Re: [xsl] Create Table

[Wolfgang Laun <wolfgang.laun@xxxxxxxxx>]

This uses the grouping feature of XSLT 2.0. Notice that I assume that each
block of <data section="changes" field="..."> for one logical change is
separated from the next one by at least one <data section="diff"...> or any
other attribute @section value other than "changes". - If this does not hold,
it'll become a little difficult since any field can be missing, which would
not
permit to separate the groups cleanly.

  <tbody>
    <tr>  <!--****Static Table Headings***-->
      <th>File</th>
      <th>Version</th>
      <th>Date</th>
      <th>User</th>
      <th>CR Number</th>
      <th>Comment</th>
    </tr>
    <xsl:for-each-group  select="BOM/interface-categories/data"
group-adjacent="@section">
      <xsl:if test="current-grouping-key() = 'changes'">
        <tr>
        <xsl:for-each select="for $x in
('file','version','date','user','cr_number','comment') return
             ((current-group()[@field=$x],'&#160;')[1])">
           <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </tr>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each-group>
  </tbody>

inside the parent element <interface-changes>.
