Hi,
I made this XML document too simple in the last post. Entries are not siblings!
The XML document should rather something like this:
<top>
<page>
<paragraph>
<entry text='aaa'/>
</paragraph>
<paragraph>
<entry text='bbb'/>
</paragraph>
<paragraph>
<entry text='aaa'/>
</paragraph>
</page>
<page>
<paragraph>
<entry text='ccc'/>
</paragraph>
<paragraph>
<entry text='bbb'/> ***
</paragraph>
<paragraph>
<entry text='ccc'/>
</paragraph>
</page>
</top>
I only want to select entries with the same text once for each page.
For the first page I want to get only one aaa-entry and one bbb-entry.
For the second page I want to get only one ccc-entry and ond bbb-entry.
I did this with the following XPATH expression :
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::page/descendant::entry[not(@text =
preceding::entry/@text)]">
but then I don't get the bbb-entry for the second page.
I cannot figure out a way to restrict the preceding::entry result set to the
current page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
