RE: RE: [xsl] listing elements & sub-elements in a seqence - skiping

No need for grouping.
No need for xsl:for-each.

Although I suspect that you don't really want your output as text (even though that is what you show as the desired output), here is a stylesheet that produces the output as described.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />
  <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" />

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="session">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section[subsection]">
<xsl:value-of select="title" />. Appears at beginning of section <xsl:value-of select="title" />.
<xsl:apply-templates select="subsection" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section[not(subsection)]">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="subsection">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="title">
<xsl:value-of select="." />.html
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks Charles. However, I think you overlooked a minor thing when
mentioning [I have another q at the end. Pls have a look]

---------

If you use:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//Session/Section" />
you will get the same output as:

<xsl:for-each select="//Section[not(SubSection)] |
//Section/SubSection"/>

or 
<xsl:for-each select="//Session/Section" />
------
by writing "//Section[not(SubSection)] | //Section/SubSection?, What
I am trying to achieve is
-        select section ONLY if there are NO ?subsection? i.e ignore
those section?s that have subsection &
-        If there are subsections, then loop thro each subsection
(ignoring section element)

May be my sample xml is bad. So, I give a better example here [real
xml have many other elements & contents]. Pls ignore any spell
mistake or case mistake like section or Section.

<session>
            <section>
                        <title>1</title>
            </section>
            <section>
                        <title>2</title>
            </section>
            <section>
                        <title>3</title>
                        <subsection>
                                    <title>3.1</title>
                        </subsection>
                        <subsection>
                                    <title>3.2</title>
                        </subsection>
            </section>
            <section>
                        <title>4</title>
            </section>
            <section>
                        <title>5</title>
                        <subsection>
                                    <title>5.1</title>
                        </subsection>
                        <subsection>
                                    <title>5.2</title>
                        </subsection>
            </section>
</session>

Assuming my intention is use <title>,What I intend to generate is

1.html

2.html

3.1.html [pls note section 3.html is not generated because of 
//Section[not(SubSection)] ]

3.2.html

4.html

5.1 html  [again 5.html will not be generated]

5.2.html

Having mentioned this, I wish to ask another Q ? I think this I can
get only using xsl grouping / xsl:key but understand xslt 2 has
better option

If I need to display an html output like

1.title  [section title] ? will actually be linked to 1.html

2.title

3.title [ie section title appears only once before the start of 1st
subsection title & no links as 3.html is not exist]

3.1 title [subsection title] ? will be linked to 3.1.html

3.2 title [subsection title]

4.title

5.title [section title]

 5.1 title [subsection title]

 5.2 title [subsection title]

And so on?

Thanks,
karl
