Re: problems with copying duplicate nodes

2005-06-29 07:44:34
Ok ..so let me try to understand what you did.

<xsl:variable name="rtf">
    <temp>
       <xsl:copy-of select="TD" />
    </temp>  
</xsl:variable>

So the variable 'rtf' contained the entire TD content.

<xsl:for-each select="$rtf/temp/TD[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('by-td', .)[1])]">
     <xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:for-each>

Then for each TD in the $rtf you checked whether there
was a duplicate TD present bz comparing it with the
first occurrence of TD.

Well I must thank you for providing me with a
solution. I had truly been struggling ! :)

Thanks
Rahil

(I am glad I was able to help ..)

The solution you posted worked even with my Saxon
8.1.1 processor using XSLT 2.0.

Im getting the output just as I wanted but Im
intrigued about the functionality of the <temp>
node
and how it eliminated the duplicates at a later
stage.

I used temp as a convenience element, using which I
was able to distinguish element hierarchy properly
..
We could write the stylesheet using without it also
..
But I am not sure at this moment, how we should do
that? I think David answered the question to this
some
time back .. Please ask him :)

Just so I know how to resolve a similar query in
future could you please explain what you did in
the
<template match="TABLE/TR/TR"> block ?

In this template, I matched a pattern with a portion
of the result tree (which was body of the template)
..
I think the explanation could be as simple as that
;)

Mukul

Thanks again
Rahil

  The stylesheet uses node-set function, and
Muenchian
  Grouping (over a RTF) .. 

It _needs_ to use a node-set function, but as
posted
you did not use it
(you need common:node-set($rtf))

Sorry if I am wrong. I tested the stylesheet,
and
it
ran successfully with Saxon.

  The stylesheet is tested with Saxon 8.4.

It's best not to test xslt 1 stylesheets with
an
xslt2 processor.
As (as in this case) many things that generate
an
error in xslt1 will
not be reported.

You are always right :)
