Hi, Mark,
<SomeTag>This is the text</SomeTag>
wouldn't be a duplicate, as it is a single element.
Now, if I had a structure like this:
<root>
<SomeTag>This is the text</SomeTag>
<SomeTag>This is the text</SomeTag>
</root>
I'd have a duplicate.
Hi Jay,
In this instance "duplicates" is being referred to in the sense of a
Set - a Set will by definition never contain two of the same item. In
your example the nodes have the same element name and value, but they
are different nodes - generate-id() will produce a different value for
each.
If you selected the same nodes twice eg
select="/root/SomeTag|/root/SomeTag" then the assembled Set will still
only contain the same nodes as if you had selected them once eg
select="/root/SomeTag" or 100 times - the duplicates (or nodes with
the same generate-id()) never get added (or are removed depending on
your perspective).
cheers
