Hello everyone,
<p>I have an XSL Transformation question. I hope I can raise XSLT issues
here. I am new to XSL and want to write a template to transform only unique
nodes from a well formed XML document to HTML.
<p>Below is a small snippet of this well formed document which I want to
transform
<br><tt><xyz></tt>
<br><tt> ...</tt>
<br><tt> ...</tt>
<br><tt> <a name="school"></tt>
<br><tt> <a name="grade5"></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="pencil"/></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="paper"/></tt>
<br><tt> </a></tt>
<br><tt> <a name="grade10"></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="pen"/></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="paper"/></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="backpack"/></tt>
<br><tt> </a></tt>
<br><tt> </a></tt>
<br><tt> <a name="office"></tt>
<br><tt> <b item="cuibicle"/></tt>
<br><tt> <b item="paper"/></tt>
<br><tt> <a name="engg"></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="pc"/></tt>
<br><tt>
<b item="backpack"/></tt>
<br><tt> </a></tt>
<br><tt> </a></tt>
<br><tt> ....</tt>
<br><tt> ...</tt>
<br><tt></xyz></tt><tt></tt>
<p>Now, from this XML document I want to create a HTML document which would
be a list of all the 'b' element's attributes (i.e. <tt>item</tt>). As
you see there are a few items which are repeated in the XML document. If
I want only the unique elements depending on b's attribute <tt>item</tt>
then how should go about writing the XSLT template. Is this possible? Maybe
I have to parse the entire document more than once to see if a particular
node is unique, but how to do this? Any help!!!
<p>PS: I am using XT (Ver 19990822) by James Clark for the transformation.
<p>Thank you,
<br>Anand
