Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, I'm still having problems. I
tried applying a simple version of Mr. Gandhi's stylesheet that should
print just the ANSI characters:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:template match="/resultset">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="65 to 90">
<xsl:variable name="letter"
select="code-points-to-string(.)" />
<p><xsl:value-of select="$letter" /></p>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I receive the following error:
Expected token 'eof' found 'NAME'. 65 -->to <--90
I can't find much of anything on the web about this error. I'm testing
this by opening the XML file in IE6 (the file links to the stylesheet
with <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="glossary.xsl"?>). Any help
is appreciated. Thanks again!

(Learning from David's answer), I suggest the following XSLT 2.0
stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:my="http://dummy";
version="2.0">

<xsl:template match="/resultset">
<xsl:variable name="here" select="." />
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="65 to 90">
<xsl:variable name="letter" select="codepoints-to-string(.)"/>
<p><xsl:value-of select="$letter" /></p>
<xsl:variable name="htmlFragment"
select="my:getHtmlFragment($letter, $here)" />
<xsl:copy-of select="$htmlFragment" />
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="my:getHtmlFragment" as="node()*">
<xsl:param name="letter" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="here" as="element()"/>
<ul>
<xsl:for-each select="$here/term[starts-with(termname, $letter) or
starts-with(termname, lower-case($letter))]">
<li><xsl:value-of select="termname" /> (<xsl:value-of
select="termattrs/termdef" />)</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi all,
I'm trying to find a better alternative to our current test XSL
template. Currently, we have the following XML file structure
(extremely simplified from the original):
<resultset>
<term>
<termname>First Term</termname>
<termattrs>
<termdef>This is the firstterm description.</termdef>
</termattrs>
</term>
<term>
<termname>Second Term</termname>
<termattrs>
<termdef>This is the second term description.</termdef>
</termattrs>
</term>
</resultset>
We're trying build a glossary of the terms listed in alphabetical
order.
In other words, after the translation, viewing the XML (in IE) should
produce an output similar to the following:
A
B
...
F
First Term (This is the first term description.) ...
S
Second Term (This is the second term description.) ...
Z
Unfortunately, our current XSL logic involves an <xsl:for-each> loop
which tests whether the first letter of <termname> begins with a
letter.
However, this is done for *each* letter, so we have duplicate code,
i.e.:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
...
<p>A</p>
<xsl:template match="/resultset">
<xsl:for-each select="term">
<xsl:if test="starts-with(termname, 'A') or
starts-with(termname, 'a')">
<xsl:value-of select="termname" />
<xsl:value-of select="termattrs/termdef" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<p>B</p>
<xsl:template match="/resultset">
<xsl:for-each select="term">
<xsl:if test="starts-with(termname, 'B') or
starts-with(termname, 'b')">
<xsl:value-of select="termname" />
<xsl:value-of select="termattrs/termdef" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
...
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Is there a better method than using multiple <xsl:for-each> loops?
We've looked into other options (e.g. xsl:for-each-group, using
multiple apply-templates), but nothing produces our desired output. My
brain is mush right now, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
If there's anything else you need from me, please let me know. Thanks
in advance!
