Re: Selecting unique value of an attribute [ restated and tested solution :)]

[Miloslav Nic <nicmila@xxxxxxxxx>]

I promise I will not send example after 30 sec thinking in the future.
I would have eaten the mail if it was on a paper to punish myself
but fortunately we are in the age of e-mails and hard drives are too
hard to swallow.

I will restate the question in my terms :) :

Find all elements in the source and sort them alphabetically:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//*">
        <xsl:sort select="name()"/>
  </xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:if test="not(preceding::*[name()=name(current())])">
  <xsl:text>
  </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


It works. I have tested it :))))))
