RE: [xsl] transformation help

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

In XSLT 2.0 you can do this with

<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="category">
<category name="{.}">
  <xsl:copy-of select="current-group() except ."/>
</category>
</xsl:for-each-group>

In 1.0, you can do:

<xsl:for-each select="category">
<category name="{.}">
  <xsl:copy-of
select="following-sibling::item[generate-id(preceding-sibling::category[1])
= generate-id(current())]"/>
</category>
</xsl:for-each>

In English, you are copying the following items whose imediately preceding
category is the current category.
