My input:
<xsl:variable name=element_definition_lines">
<element>
<line>REQUIRED ST01</line>
<line>Code uniquely identifying a Transaction Set</line>
<line>REQUIRED</line>
<line>REQUIRED ST02</line>
<line>Identifying control number that must be unique within the
transaction set</line>
</element>
</xsl:variable>
The type of this variable is document-node(elemnet(element)): that is, a
document node whose child is an element named "element".
The path expression $element_definition_lines/line selects the children of
this document node that are named "line", and there aren't any.
I've tried the following code:
<xsl:for-each-group select="$element_definition_lines/line"
group-starting-with="REQUIRED " >
Please note the space in the group-starting-with attribute.
The group-starting-with attribute is a match pattern. Your pattern is
matching elements named REQUIRED. To match elements whose string value is
"REQUIRED ", use group-starting-with="line[.='REQUIRED ']". To match
elements whose string value starts with "REQUIRED ", use
group-starting-with="line[starts-with(.,'REQUIRED)]"
