This is XSLT 2.0, so it is much more easier -- in particular one
doesn't need to use keys and the Muenchian method:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:for-each-group select="indexterm"
group-by="substring(@name,1,1)">
<xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()"/>
<xsl:text>

</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()"
group-by="@name">
<xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="current-group()[normalize-space()]">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('
-',.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

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
S
Smith Airways
-MEL Policy and Revision number
Here is my XML:
<book>
<indexterm name="GMM">Aircraft Logbook Entry</indexterm>
<indexterm name="Smith Airways">MEL Policy and Revision number</indexterm>
<indexterm name="GMM">MX-4 Deffered Items</indexterm>
<indexterm name="E190">Aircraft Tail</indexterm>
<indexterm name="E190">Landing Gear</indexterm>
<indexterm name="Election">Voting</indexterm>
</book>
Here is my XSL 2.0:
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:variable name="XML1" select="/"/>
<xsl:key name="list" match="//indexterm" use="@name"/>
<xsl:key name="letter" match="//indexterm" use="substring(@name,
1,1)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Manual Index</title>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
h2 {font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13pt}
li {font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11pt}
</style>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="$XML1">
<xsl:for-each

<xsl:value-of

<xsl:for-each

<xsl:variable

<h2>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</h2>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="key('list', $get)">
<xsl:sort/>
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
Thanks for the help.
