This is a completely standard grouping problem. Grouping is much easier in
XSLT 2.0 using xsl:for-each-group, but if you really need to stick with 1.0,
go to http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping to learn how to do it.
This code:
string-length(category) != string-length(following::category)
is wildly out.
And why do you want to disable-output-escaping?

Desired Output
--------------
SNES
Ogre Battle is sold out
Final Fantasy 3 Breaks FF2 Record
SNES is the ultimate system
SEGA Genesis
Sonic The Hedgehog an instant success
Joe Montanna Talking Football is amazing
---------------
Output Received
--------------------------
Ogre Battle is sold out
SNES
Final Fantasy 3 Breaks FF2 Record
SNES is the Ultimate System
SEGA Genesis
Sonic The Hedgehog an instant success
------------------------------
Is there anyway to achieve the Desired Output? I have seen
many hints, but still no luck.
I'm using the Cooktop development environment. Its a
freeware, and not supported anymore, but still works nicely.
