Re: [xsl] Creating a Place index

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

It would have been easier if you'd included a small file with two
tables, for testing but anyway having got used your"contacts-by-place"
key to find the first occurrence of each place, you just want to get all
the ancestor tables  of every place with the same name which is
<xsl:for-each select="key('contacts-by-place',@name)/ancestor::table">
... table number <xsl:value-of select=E//>@number"

duplication removal is automatic as a the node-set
key('contacts-by-place',@name)/ancestor::table
can't have duplicates, as it is a set.
