Normal xpath will do: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/songlist/song[Genre = 'Rap'][Artist != preceding-sibling::song/Artist]"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="song"> <xsl:value-of select="Artist"/> <xsl:if test="position() != last()">, </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> cheers andrew
