Re: [xsl] Identify last node in nested nodeset with same name

[Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mat,
  Please try this XSL .. It seems to solve the problem
...

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
 
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" /> 
 
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">  
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
 
<xsl:template match="root">
  <ul>
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </ul>  
</xsl:template>
 
<xsl:template match="menu">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="child::*">
      <li><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></li>
        <ul>
          <xsl:apply-templates />
        </ul>  
      </li>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <li>
        <xsl:value-of select="@name" />
      </li>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
Mukul
