[xsl] for-each-group group-by

2012-04-04 16:03:55
Hello,
  I am creating an index of paper titles using xsl:for-each-group to select and 
group by the titles of the papers alphabetically using the first character of 
the title. 

Eg:
  <xsl:for-each-group select="//section" 
group-by="upper-case(substring(normalize-space(paperTitle),1,1))">
    <xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()"/>
   . . . 

  Some of the paper titles start with double left hand quotes. Others start 
with a numeral. In those cases I want the group-by to use the first alpha 
character in the title string. I could do this if regular expressions were 
allowed in the group-by attribute, but they're not.

  Can anyone suggest how to make this work?

Thanks,
  Craig
