Re: [xsl] Grouping by letters but keep symbols together

["Michele R Combs mrrothen@xxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do this in one of our scripts using translate - I convert all numbers into
"#" for purposes of sorting and grouping:

<xsl:key name="letter-group" match="fmp:ROW"
use="translate(substring(fmp:COL[2]/fmp:DATA,1,1),'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
1234567890','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ##########')" />

Subject: [xsl] Grouping by letters but keep symbols together

Hi,

I am creating a glossary and I want to group entries under each letter of the
alphabet. I am using this and it is working fine:

<xsl:for-each-group select="glossentry"
group-by="upper-case(substring(glossterm/text(),1,1))">
    <topicref navtitle="{current-grouping-key()}" toc="no">
...
    </topicref>
</xsl:for-each-group>

However, I want to group entries that start with a symbol or number all
together under one group. I am not sure what to use for the group-by attribute
so that letters are separate from each other and all of the non-letter
characters are in the same group. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank
you very much.

Rick
