Removing following sibling same element name

samueln12

Hi All,

I want to remove the immediate following sibling element name

For e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <def-item>

  <term id="G1">CGRP</term>

  <abr-rel-sym style="inline">&#x02009;</abr-rel-sym>

  <abr-rel-sym style="inline">=</abr-rel-sym>

  <abr-rel-sym style="inline">&#x02009;</abr-rel-sym>

  <def>

    <p>Calcitonin gene-related peptide</p>

  </def>

</def-item>

to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <def-item>

  <term id="G1">CGRP</term>

  <abr-rel-sym style="inline">&#x02009;=&#x02009;</abr-rel-sym>

  <def>

    <p>Calcitonin gene-related peptide</p>

  </def>

</def-item>

Can any one help me how to do this

Thanks
Sam

Something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<xsl:template match="*">

  <xsl:if test="name() != name(preceding-sibling::*[1])">

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:copy-of select="@*">

      <xsl:value-of select="."/>

      <xsl:if test="name() = name(following-sibling::*[1])">

        <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1]" mode="merge"/>

      </xsl:if>

    </xsl:copy>

  </xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="merge"><!-- don't copy element, only it's contents. -->

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>
