Re: [xsl] variable as element name; issues with for-each-group

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

<xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="chapter"
select="*">
  <chapter>
  ...

with group-starting-with any items occurring before the first matching
element become the first group, so if you want to lose that you can
either not select them or filter tham out afterwards


<xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="chapter"
select="chapter[1]|chapter[1]/following-sibling::*">
  <chapter>
...

or


<xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="chapter"
select="*">
<xsl:if test="self::chapter">
  <chapter>
...


<family name="{current-group()[1]}"> 

That is the same as

<family name="{.}"> 

as the first item in the current group is always teh current item in
this context. so for groups beginning with chapter (all the ones you
want) this should be "1" "2" etc.
looking at your input don't you want something like 
<family name="{family/name}


> superfamily[1]/position()
position() will always be 1 there as superfamily[1] selects a sequence
of one item, so that item will have position()=last()=1. position()
never relates to the position of an item in the input, only to the
position in the currently seelcted sequence.
