Hi, I am building a back of the book index using keys and grouping. I am
able to group the <indexterms> to the @name attribute, but I can't figure
out how to group the @name attribute to its respective letter. My desired
output is:
Desired output:
E
E190
-Aircraft Tail
-Landing Gear
Election
-voting
G
GMM
-Aircraft Logbook Entry
-MX-4 Deffered Items

-MEL Policy and Revision number

Here is my XSL 2.0:
...
<xsl:key name="list" match="//indexterm" use="@name"/>
<xsl:key name="letter" match="//indexterm" use="substring(@name,
1,1)"/>
...
<xsl:for-each select="$XML1">
<xsl:for-each
select="//indexterm[generate-id(.)=generate-id(key('list', @name))]/@name">
As I see it you are using XSLT 1 techniques in an
XSLT 2 stylesheet when XSLT 2 already gives you
what you need as native constructs.
I hope the following use of XSLT 2 facilities helps.
