Please try the XSL --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:key name="text-by-content" match="text" use="."
/>
<xsl:template match="/dictionary">
<dictionary>
<xsl:for-each select="text">
<xsl:if test="generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('text-by-content', .)[1])">
<text>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</dictionary>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi all,
This is probably quite a basic question, but I've
been scratching my head
over it all day and I could use some guidance.
I have an XML file which is going to be used as a
"dictionary" for an
internationalised web application. The structure of
he file is like so:
<dictionary>
<text>foo</text>
<text>bar</text>
<text>foo</text>
<text>baz</text>
<text>foobar</text>
(etc...)
</dictionary>
The file contains quite a few "duplicates" (in terms
of the text() content
of the node), and I've been trying to figure out a
way to strip out all the
dupicates, leaving me with an XML file with only
unique <text> elements.
I wrote an XSL to identify all the duplicates, and
print them out [basically
using: test="current() = following-sibling::text or
current() =
preceding-sibling::text"] But now I want to actually
remove the duplicates
and create a new XML file in the output tree.
I think they way to do this is via Muenchian
grouping. I know what I need to
do: group all the <text> elements by their text()
content; and select only
the first one in each group. But I've followed the
guidelines on Jeni
Tennison's XSLT pages and I can't seem to get my
head around how keys
actually work.
So far I have tried (these are obviously just sample
lines from my XSL):
<xsl:key name="text-by-content" match="text"
use="normalize-space(text())"
/>
And then:
<xsl:apply-templates select="text[generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('text-by-content', text())[1])]"/>
But this produces no output at all.
I'm sure what I'm missing is blatently obvious...
:-/
I'm using Sablotron 1.0, if that makes any
difference.
Thanks in advance,
Laura.
