Subject: Re: [xsl] Got an XSLT function that does value intersection (not identity intersection)? From: "Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2021 13:31:30 -0000 |
In this situation, you can use grouping: <xsl:for-each-group select="row" group-by="x, y" composite="yes"> <xsl:sequence select="current-group()[1]"/> </xsl:for-each> If your comparison operation is more complex (e.g., deep-equal()) then it gets more difficult, and the best way might be to form the canonical serialization of each element and group on that. (Saxon offers canonical serialization with the extension attribute saxon:canonical="yes").
