Re: [xsl] XSLT 1 and grouping numbers by if the following number is current number + 1 and so on

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use sibling recursion:

<xsl:template match="a" mode="new-group">
  <group>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::a[1][. = current()+1]"
mode="same-group"/>
  </group>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::a[not(. =
preceding-sibling::a+1)][1]" mode="new-group"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="a" mode="same-group">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::a[1][. = current()+1]"
mode="same-group"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[a]">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child::a[1]" mode="new-group"/>
</xsl:template>

Not tested.
