In XSLT 2.0 you can do this with
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="category">
<category name="{.}">
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group() except ."/>
</category>
</xsl:for-each-group>
In 1.0, you can do:
<xsl:for-each select="category">
<category name="{.}">
<xsl:copy-of
select="following-sibling::item[generate-id(preceding-sibling::category[1])
= generate-id(current())]"/>
</category>
</xsl:for-each>
In English, you are copying the following items whose imediately preceding
category is the current category.

Subject: [xsl] transformation help
I have an xml doc in the form of
<doc>
<category>cat 1</category>
<item>item 1</item>
<item>item 2</item>
<category>cat 1</category>
<item>item 3</item>
<item>item 4</item>
<item>item 5</item>
</doc>
and i want to transform it into
<doc>
<category name=3D"cat 1">
<item>item 1</item>
<item>item 2</item>
</category>
<category name=3D"cat 2">
<item>item 3</item>
<item>item 4</item>
<item>item 5</item>
</category>
</doc>
how should i go about this?
Thanks,
Marcus
