Here in the USA, we rarely have occasion to refer to the pound sterling, but in
bygone days, when signs in grocery markets were made by hand, the "#" symbol
was used as a short-hand for the pound avoirdupois (you know, that base-2
system of weights where there are 16 ounces to the pound (avoirdupois)), thus,
you might see a sign like "Potatoes, 29¢/#".
This does beg the question of why our common weighing unit has a name which
translates from the French as "to have some peas", but I guess I can toss that
back across the Atlantic to those of you who let the French run riot over the
language after the battle of Hastings.

you silly English persons, or I will forced to taunt you again!")

Subject: [xsl] How to filter records with the same element?
XML output:
<b2>OnlineLib</b2>
<b2>LibWebSite</b2>
<b2>NorthLib</b2>
<b2>SouthLib</b2>
I would like to display only if it's either/and "NorthLib" or "SouthLib". Do
not display "OnlineLib" and "LibWebSite".
Thanks!
Joseph
