Thanks to Michael and Ken for your replies. I've now got it more
or less working using xsl:for-each-group. However, I've got
another problem that I can't quite work out. Each of the main
elements in the result file needs to have a unique ID attribute.
An ID attribute value must be a name token, so your "1","2",...
won't be correct. But you could use something like "N1","N2",...
Of course, the OP hasn't actually said his attributes named "id"
need to validate as type ID. (Not that this isn't good advice in
general, in case one ever wanted to do that.)
Sure, but I was assuming since he said "ID attribute" and not
"identifier attribute" that he was citing ID-ness for the value.
But this brings up another issue we might have brought to the
attention of the OP: the name of the attribute.
In all of the XML vocabularies I've designed for clients, standards
and myself the last few years I've been avoiding:
id=
in favour of:
xml:id=
ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-xml-id-20050909/
because of the implied semantics.
I haven't run into any hiccoughs in any way by doing so ... has
anyone run into roadblocks or unintended consequences doing the same?
