Re: [xsl] Grouping "span" with same @class within mixed content element

[Matthieu Ricaud-Dussarget <matthieu.ricaud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

Thanks for your explanation.

If I understood well, in my sample :
<span class="bar">text4</span>
<span class="bar">text5</span>

The 2 spans elements would not have been considered adjacent beacause 
the indentation "create" (or "is") a (whitespace) text node inbetween.

Actually, in my xhtml doc, spans are sometimes inline, sometimes not, 
and there might be spaces between them when inline.

In  xhtml spaces are important, i think you all now the rules : only one 
space is displayed even when there are more, and a line feed also 
generate one space on the display screen.

So to be more generic and xhtml indentation/spaces aware, i would like 
such an input :
<p id="foo"><span class="foo1">text1</span> <span class="foo1">text2</span>
<span class="foo1">text3</span> <span class="foo2">text4</span> <span 
class="foo2">text5</span>
<span class="foo2">text6</span><span class="foo1">text7</span> <span 
class="foo1">text8</span>
</p>
to be output like this :
<p id="foo"><span class="foo1">text1 text2 text3</span> <span 
class="foo2">text4 text5 text6</span><span class="foo1">text7 text8</span>
</p>

I tried the same template as you David, with :
<xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-adjacent="string(@class) or 
normalize-space(.)=' '">
which doesn't group anything from my sample above.

string(@class) is a string whereas normalize-space(.)=' ' is a 
boolean... so my test isn't good?

I'm searching for a solution, any suggestions are welcome !

Matt
