Hi.
<comments>
<comment page="20030101">blah</comment>
<comment page="20030207">blah</comment>
<comment page="20011127">blah</comment>
...etc
</comments>
Each <comment> element has a page attribute, which contains a date
in
format CCYYMMDD as shown above.
I'm trying to use a XSL stylesheet to display these, or sort them if
you prefer that wording, into a year/month/day type format.
I think you can use the substring() function in a match attribute as part of
a valid XPath expression.
substring(string, start_position, length)
<xsl:key match="comment" use="comment/substring(@page, 1, 4)" />
That would select the unique years. If all of your dates are the same you
can supply start points for the parts you need.
Hope that helps.
Erika
