Re: [xsl] Keeping result-document() from writing to a file more than once?

["David Carlisle d.p.carlisle@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you can not detect (by some predicates in the input) that you are
in a duplicate then one way is to replace

<xsl:if test="not(doc-available($newFile))"

 CREATE FILE NOW

 <xsl:result-document method="xml" href="{$newFile}" indent="yes">
 <referable-content id="ikj1555615661716" xml:lang="en-us">
 <titler>efereable test</title>
 <rcbody>
 <xsl:copy-of select="document($srcFile)//*[@id = $target]"/>
 </rcbody>
 </referable-content>
 </xsl:result-document>

 </xsl:if>


by something like

 <result-document href="{$newFile}" >
 <referable-content id="ikj1555615661716" xml:lang="en-us">
 <titler>efereable test</title>
 <rcbody>
 <xsl:copy-of select="document($srcFile)//*[@id = $target]"/>
 </rcbody>
 </referable-content>
 </result-document>

so generating elements not writing files at this stage,

Then wrap your outer transformation in a file-writing pass replacing

<xsl:apply-templates/>

by

<xsl:variable name ="x">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each-group select="$x//result-document" group-by="@href">
<xsl:result-document href="@href" indent="yes">
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each-group>
