This is FAQ. See http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/index.html Do not use for-each approach but apply-templates instead. Cheers, Jarkko < I am attempting to merge an XSL and XML file to generate a PDF, and I < have encountered a problem that I can't find a solution to. < < The XML file that I am working with has the following format: < < <data> < <products> < <product category="Cat 1"> < <value1>valA</value1> < <value2>valB</value2> < </product> < <product category="Cat 2"> < <value1>valC</value1> < <value2>valD</value2> < </product> < <product category="Cat 3"> < <value1>valE</value1> < <value2>valF</value2> < </product> < <product category="Cat 2"> < <value1>valG</value1> < <value2>valH</value2> < </product> < </products> < </data> < < As you can see there are 2 products of type "Cat 2", now what I am < attempting to achieve is to create a PDF (using Apache FOP) with 3 < tables (one for each category) and within each table put the values that < have that category. So something like this: < < Cat 1 < valA valB < < Cat 2 < valC valD < valG valH < < Cat 3 < valE valF < < I have managed to do simple foreach, but I can't seem to find a way of < doing this using the "category" attribute to group items. < < One thing that could be an issue here, is that I don't have any control < of the "category" attribute value, so it isn't possible to hardcode the < XSL file to pull out specific values by attribute value. In other words < this needs to be 100% dynamic, as on 1 run the XML may have 2 categories < and 6 products, on another it may have 40 categories and 500 products. < < Regards < Manuel Reyes < < < < < < XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list < < *************************************************** * Jarkko Moilanen * * Project Manager, ITCM (www.itcm.org) * * Profound XML technology Expert * * University of Tampere * * Hypermedia Laboratory * *************************************************** XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
