RE: XSLT 1.0: Grouping Adjacent Elements in Embedded Lists

Hi Joe,

It's good you're banging away at this. The right way to learn.

At 11:52 AM 11/5/2004, you wrote:
The select statement's axial position is unchanged from when I called apply-templates within the if statement. That would explain why my transform works if there is only one item in an embedded list and not when there is more than one item. So I think I need to change my select statement to be "The first following-sibling that is not an EM_OL_LI".

If you mean "the first following sibling, if it is not an EM_OL_LI", that would be
  following-sibling::*[1][not(self::EM_OL_LI)]

If you mean "the first following sibling, except for EM_OL_LIs", that would be
  following-sibling::*[not(self::EM_OL_LI)][1]

Then test if that item is an OL_LI item add it to the top level list.

Could that be handled by a template in the mode, matching OL_LI?

Am I right in thinking that the current axial position when the apply-templates was called is the same reference point for the second?

If I understand you correctly, yes.

Feel free to post full code again if you are still stuck.

Cheers,
Wendell
