Thanks so much, both examples worked perfectly.
And I will remember about creating new messages instead of replying to start a thread.

Subject: [xsl] grouping like items into one


I know I have done this with xsl 1.0 before and could figure it out, but 1.0 is painful :) So I am trying to figure it out with 2.0 and am getting stuck. I am running into that "how do I know what to look up if I don't know how to spell it" jam.
I looked at the xsl:for-each-group element, but I don't think that will work in this situation.
Someone want to take a whack at it?



I want to group bordered text into one border <span>, but leave italic text ( and other styles ) in individual nodes.
