Dear Nicole,
At 01:39 PM 5/10/2006, you wrote: In XSL 1.0 you can't de-duplicate within the results of your sort, but you can de-duplicate before sorting, which has the same effect: <xsl:apply-templates select="//Document/Report[ deduplication logic goes here ]"> <xsl:sort ... </xsl:apply-templates> inside the predicate (the bracketed expression, used as a "filter expression"), place the same test as you are currently using in the template to de-duplicate. As you can imagine, when things get very complex you may not want to do it this way, at which point you will want to consider whether to try to handle it entirely in 1.0 (not built for the job, but solutions have been developed), or in 2.0 (which is built for the job and much better at this sort of thing generally). I hope that helps, Wendell ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ======================================================================
