first, you'll want to alphabetize the list based on city name so run this stylesheet on the xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="people"> <people> <xsl:apply-templates select="person"><xsl:sort select="city"/></xsl:apply-templates> </people> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="person"> <person> <city><xsl:value-of select="city"/></city> <name><xsl:value-of select="name"/></name> </person> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Then, do this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="people"> <xsl:apply-templates select="person"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="person"> <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::person[1]/city=city)"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </xsl:text> <!-- hard return to make it look pretty --> <xsl:value-of select="city"/> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </xsl:text> <!-- hard return to make it look pretty --> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="name"/> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </xsl:text> <!-- hard return to make it look pretty --> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jeroen Janssen Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2001 4:24 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] grouping headers Sorry for the subject line, I couldn't think of anything better :-) I'm trying to do the following: I have something like this xml: <people> <person> <city>Amsterdam</city> <name>John Doe</name> </person> <person> <city>Amsterdam</city> <name>Jane Doe</name> </person> <person> <city>London</city> <name>Jim Doe</name> </person> </people> And would like this result in html: Amsterdam John Doe Jane Doe London Jim Doe I hope I'm making myself clear, I searched the archives for an answer but I don't really know what I'm looking for...
