Re: Ideas for creating quotation collection

Hello,

First, can you not clean up your XML so you don't have to worry about the case-sensitivity? How about, for example, an id for each name -- where you have code like <source idref="twain">Mark Twain</source> -- and then group by id?
Yes, I would do something like this if I'd start my collection from scratch. Alas, it currently contains 900 quotes. I wouldn't want to categorize these by hand. So I've opted for the automatic categorization.


With respect to how to code this, the grouping support in XSLT 2.0 is certainly useful for this sort of thing. I got some help from Jeni Tennison a few weeks back on this issue, in a thread called "regexs, grouping (?) and XSLT2?" The problem I had was more complex, but you could probably adapt it.
Thanks, I'll have a look into that thread...


regards
Steffen
