If I'm not allowed to put the sequence into a variable, but I am allowed to
duplicate the sequence in the expression:
T:\ftemp>xslt2 david2.xsl david2.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>Matthew Mark Luke John
T:\ftemp>type david2.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of
select="('Matthew','Mark','Luke','Matthew','John')[position() =
index-of(('Matthew','Mark','Luke','Matthew','John'),.)[1]]"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
T:\ftemp>
I don't think I can do it otherwise, but I only have five minutes this
evening to look at this.
I can't think of an xpath 2.0 without duplicating the sequence
either.. but with xpath 3.0 we can do:
fold-right(function($i, $j) {
$i[not(index-of($j, $i))], $j },
(), ('Matthew','Mark','Luke','Matthew','John') )
