I'm struggling with this problem and if any kind soul could provide some
guidance I'd be very grateful. I began with a table (adjacency list) of csv
values that I transformed using Andrew Welch's stylesheet suggestion. This
provided me with an XML representation of the data but I have been unable to
use Michael's suggestion for xsl:key to produce the desired output. I have
managed to associate each child node with its parent but that's as far as
I've been able to get.

The latest I have is...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:key name="parentKey" match="row" use="ChildID"/>
<xsl:template match="root">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="row" />
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ChildID">
<xsl:value-of select="key('parentKey',@pid)/ChildID"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Which transforms

Subject: RE: [xsl] Transforming tabular information to hierarchical
Write a stylesheet that has the same structure as a normal one: start with a
template that processes the root node, and call apply-templates when you
want to process its children. The only difference is that the children are
not physical XML children, but logical children found by using a key. Define
a key for nodes based on the ParentID property, and to find the logical
children of a node, use key('parentKey', @ID).

Subject: [xsl] Transforming tabular information to hierarchical
If I have a tabular data set that defines parent-child relationships,
is it possible to transform this into a hierarchical tree format using
XSLT?
eg source:
ID ParentID Name col1 col2 col3
1 null One bla1 bla1 bla1
2 1 Two bla2 bla2 bla2
3 2 Three bla3 bla3 bla3
4 3 Four bla4 bla4 bla4
5 1 Five bla5 bla5 bla5
6 4 Six bla6 bla6 bla6
7 4 Seven bla7 bla7 bla7
8 7 Eight bla8 bla8 bla8
9 3 Nine bla9 bla9 bla9
10 9 Ten bla10 bla10 bla10
desired output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ul id='root'
xmlns:bla="http://www.blablabla.com/bla";>
<li id='1' bla:col1='bla1' bla:col2='bla1' bla:col3='bla1'>
One
<ul>
<li bla:col1='bla2' bla:col2='bla2' bla:col3='bla2'>
Two
<ul>
<li bla:col1='bla3' bla:col2='bla3' bla:col3='bla3' />Three
<ul>
<li id='4' bla:col1='bla4' bla:col2='bla4'
bla:col3='bla4' />Four
<ul>
<li id='6' bla:col1='bla6' bla:col2='bla6'
bla:col3='bla6'>Six</li>
<li id='7' bla:col1='bla7' bla:col2='bla7'
bla:col3='bla7'>
Seven
<ul>
<li id='8' bla:col1='bla8' bla:col2='bla8'
bla:col3='bla8'>Eight</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<li id='9' bla:col1='bla9' bla:col2='bla9' bla:col3='bla9'>
Nine
<ul>
<li id='10' bla:col1='bla10' bla:col2='bla10'
bla:col3='bla10'>Ten</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</li>
<li id='5' bla:col1='bla5' bla:col2='bla5'
bla:col3='bla5'>Five</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
