Is there a way to find out the "minimum" of "value" with out using xsl:sort
function?
Marrow provided the answer, but just out of curiosity,
why would you not want to use xsl:sort?
is there a way in which I can form a string like 34:23:56:22: using xsl?
<xsl:variable name="series">
<xsl:for-each select="a/value">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(.,':')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
You can then use the $series result tree fragment in expressions as if it were
a string. If you need an actual string, use a new variable:
<xsl:variable name="seriesString" select="string($series)"/>
