Dear All,
I am having a tricky XML which i have to view in IE using XSL. (As IE
does not support XSLT 2.0), the solution should be in XSLT 1.0
My XML is like below:
<chapter id="i120" page-num="1" extra-info="CHAPTER 1">
<title id="i121" page-num="1">Introduction to Corporate Finance</title>
<chbeginning id="i122" page-num="1" extra-info="Chapter Opener">
<title id="i123" page-num="1">OPENING CASE</title>
<para id="i124" page-num="1" dropcap="yes">Apple began as a
two-man....million.</para>
<para id="i125" page-num="1">Despite...altogether.</para>
<para id="i126" page-num="1">Of course... Steven Jobs!</para>
<para id="i127" page-num="1">With ... 74 days.</para>
</chbeginning>
<chbody id="i128" page-num="1" extra-info="Chapter Body">
<section id="i129" page-num="1">
<title id="i130" page-num="1">1.1 WHAT IS CORPORATE
FINANCE?</title>
<sectbody id="i131" page-num="1">
<para id="i132" page-num="1">Suppose...
firm.</para>
<subsection id="i133" page-num="2">
<title id="i134" page-num="2">The
Balanc.. Firm</title>
<para id="i135" page-num="2">Suppose
... finance.</para>
In the above XML, page-num attribute is there for all the elements. My
requirement is that to display the value of the page-num attribute
only first time. Means i should display the page-num at where the
value is changing. We don't know on which node the value will change
it may be child, it may be sibling.
Use a key:
<xsl:key names="page-nums" match="*" use="@page-num"/>
with
<xsl:if test="generate-id() = generate-id(key('page-nums', @page-num)[1])">
to test if that element has the first first occurrence of its page-num attribute
