Muenchian problem

Hi,

I'm trying to apply Muenchian grouping to the XML displayed below but
having no success, I'm trying to group on the section element, any
pointers would be much appreciated:

Thanks,

Mike

<xsl:key name="section-group" match="element"

<xsl:template match="/" mode="show">
<xsl:for-each select="element[generate-id() =

re: Muenchian problem

You should use the section in the key as that is what you want to group
on. Then the for-each selecting element in the document context (/)
will not select anything. Last, you need either to remove the mode on
the template or have some other template that applies templates with
the show mode on the document node. A working stylesheet is below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:key name="section-group" match="element" use="section"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//element[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('section-group',section) [1])]">
<h1>
<xsl:value-of select="section"/>
</h1>
<xsl:for-each select="key('section-group',section)">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
George
