Subject: Re: [xsl] positional grouping xslt2 From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 10:37:35 GMT |
Mike said, Grouping the adjacent bullets can use <xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-adjacent="boolean(self::bullet)"> (And I'd done more or less same in my version posted yesterday). This is actually first time I'd experimented with group-adjacent= I must say I'm fairly impressed with this. Many of the other grouping forms can be done with xslt1 using muenchian grouping variants which start to look normal after a few thousand posts to xsl-list but are fairly arcane. Having a for-each-group syntax makes them more convenient and a lot easier to learn, although not that much more powerful if you have already paid the price of learning the xslt1 tricks required. However the "adjacent groups" is a pain to do in xslt 1, and I've needed it several times, in production stylesheets here at work as well as in answers posted here. Having this just sort itself automatically just by throwing in one different attribute on the grouping element is a big win.
