Hi
Maybe this cannot be accomplished with plain Xslt and my mail is OT, but
I do not know a better place to start asking.
I need to get a distinct list of the node names from all children of one
node. For example, if I have:
<node:definition>
<form:validator />
<form:validator />
<form:filter />
</node:definition>
I want to be able to retrieve a list of the names of all tags used
within node:definition. However, it should contain each tag name only
once:
('form:validator', 'form:filter')
I tried to accomplish this trying to build a string containing all tag
names but this failed because of the nature of xsl:variables, recursion
did not work, too (I found no way :/).
I also tried the set:distinct method from exslt but it did not work,
too, because you cannot specify a path like "*/name()" and so you cannot
select all the names (I guess it is because paths always only specify
nodes and a node name is a plain string?).
Bests,
Manuel Holgrewe
