Hello all
I don't know if the title is totally appropriate, but let me tell you of my
problem:
I would like to create a nodeset for a variable, something like:
<xsl:variable name="Test">
<node>Number1</node>
<node>Number2</node>
<node>Number3</node>
</xsl:variable>
But I don't have very much success.
I would like to be able to do, say:
<xsl:value-of select="$Test[1]"/>
but this does not work.
What am I doing wrong? I have tried all kinds of changes - putting in a root
node and all other such things.
Thanks in advance

I have an example, I think originally taken from Michael Kay's book, looking
like the following (which works but I can't input from an XML file, I need
to build the variable in the XSL only):
XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="jawgroup2.xsl"?>
<cities>
<city name="Paris"><country>France</country></city>
<city name="Roma"><country>Italia</country></city>
<city name="Nice"><country>France</country></city>
<city name="Madrid"><country>Espana</country></city>
<city name="Milano"><country>Italia</country></city>
<city name="Firenze"><country>Italia</country></city>
<city name="Napoli"><country>Italia</country></city>
<city name="Lyon"><country>France</country></city>
<city name="Barcelona"><country>Espana</country></city>
</cities>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version='1.0'>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" indent="yes"/>
<!-- Content of stylesheet. -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="unique-countries"
select="/cities/city[not(country=preceding-sibling::city/country)]/country"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$unique-countries"/><br/>
<!-- same as <xsl:value-of select="$unique-countries[1]"/> -->
<xsl:value-of select="$unique-countries[3]"/><br/>
<countries>
<xsl:for-each select="$unique-countries">
<country name="{.}">
<xsl:for-each select="//city[country=current()]">
<city><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></city>, 
</xsl:for-each>
</country>
<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
</countries>
<xsl:copy-of select="$unique-countries"/><br/>
<!-- Gives me all the values in the variable nodeset (RTF?) -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
