Subject: Re: [xsl] Find several different attribute values on many elements
Yes, the error is apt because distinct-values() returns strings. I'm assuming
this is because you don't want to process elements of duplicate string
value.If you use <xsl:for-each-group group-by="." select="........"> then you
will have control at the first element of each value and so your context will
allow the <xsl:apply-templates/>I hope this helps.. . . . . KenAt 2024-02-08
