Hi Benoit Yes, I think a grouping method such as Meunchian should get rid of the duplicates for you. Read up on it anyway, it is something you will either use or see sooner or later. Its not clear from your example whether you need to sort or what the xsl:key should be: If you had <element3>text1</element3> at the end of your input, would this appear in the output and if so, where? i.e. are you sorting by text, and is uniqueness determined by the text alone or is the element name involved? As to the indentation, there is no magic way of doing this. If you really need to do it, then you have to put the required space where it is wanted by means of xsl:text. As a seperate stylesheet this is fairly simple - look up xsl:copy and xsl:strip-space - but mixed in with the grouping logic it could be a nightmare. Unless you have a tight performance target I would keep it separate.
