Re: [xsl] Question about isolating records

["G. Ken Holman g.ken.holman@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to get you started:

 - declare a key table of "Item" elements keyed by the "Shelfmark" chlid
 - use the identity template to copy FILE 1
 - match on the "Tag" element, copy all existing attributes
 - use the "crawford-number" value as the lookup value in the
   key table of File 2 (using the third argument of the key() function)

Rather than supply the written solution, that
should be enough for you to figure things out in syntax.

I hope this helps.
