RE: [xsl] XSL Processing to avoid repetitions

["Fabien Tillier" <f.tillier@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin.
Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work for me.
I have resent a message with my real data.
Maybe your solution would work if I don't change it to fit my data :)
Thanks, anyway.
Regards,
Fabien

With XSLT 2.0 you can use xsl:for-each-group to group the data
<ol>
   <xsl:for-each-group select="/xml/city" group-by="name">
     <li>
       <xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>
       <ol>
         <xsl:for-each select="current-group()/person">
           <li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
         </xsl:for-each>
       </ol>
     </li>
   </xsl:for-each-group>
</ol>

to be done on more than one level...)

You will need to provide more details then.
