libxslt it will be :)
Greetings Rob

Hi David,
the rtf shown was indeed just an illustration, but can be very big.
Do you know where to get the exslt node-set extension? It is not in the
source-code provided by exslt.org (though it is said on the website).
Others have found this out too.
It comes built in in a number of different engines, as documented on
the site. It's one of the commonest EXSLT extension functions out
there, and comes out of the box in Saxon, Xalan, 4Suite, libxslt and
who knows what else.
EXSLT distributes no code for this since it has to be implemented in
the native language of the processor, not in conformant XSLT. This is
true of a number of different EXSLT specifications. For example,
since XSLT 1.0 specifies no function to get today's date, an
implementation of date:date() has to call a routine available on the
platform; there is no way a stylesheet could divine today's date by itself.
The thing to do is just try it, following the directions (usual
methods) for binding the namespace, etc. Which engine are you using?
If your engine doesn't support it it might have an equivalent in its
own namespace, which you can research.
Good luck,
Wendell
