[xsl] For-each-group ordering problem2008-04-11 05:16:06
Hello all,
I'm wondering how to work around this.
I'm trying to parse wordml documents to pull out the text. The
ordering of the text is very important as it has to read the same as the
original.
In the main, my stylesheet works perfectly apart from 1
interesting aspect.
When the text contained in a w:t is duplicated (i.e. the text
appears more than once), for-each-group seems to put all the duplicates
together rather than leaving the order as in the original. This is a
major limitation.
I include an cutdown example below in the hope that someone may
advise me how to proceed.
I'm thinking the solution must lie with using xsl:sort in the
for-each-group, but I'm baffled as to what to sort on.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Ed
