I didn't really understand your problem description, but this generates
the required output:
['aaa'],['bbb', 'ccc', 'dddd', 'eeee', 'gggg'],['fffff']
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="test">
<xsl:for-each-group select="a/b[c]" group-by="@name">
<xsl:if test="position()>1">,</xsl:if>
<xsl:text>['</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="current-group()/c" separator="', '"/>
<xsl:text>']</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Note
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="no">
you never need to use d-o-e ="no" as that is the default 9and you hardly
ever need d-o-e at all)
//c[1][ancestor::b/@name=$node]"
That generates every c in the document that is the first child of any
element that has an ancestor b with the required name. did you intend to
select the first c in the document that is a descendant of such a b?
that would be
(//b[(_at_)name=$node]//c)[1]
but note (unless your xslt processor is being kind and rewriting it for
you) // can be very expensive and you are better to use a key or
for-each-group.
<xsl:value-of select="./text()"/>
you never need to start a path with ./ this is teh same as text() but
using text() makes the code fragile in the face of coments or other
markup in the source, better just to use
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
