Hi Martin,

Sure here it is using the xml fragment below.

<h1>Generic Course Notes (applies to all study groups</h1>
<ul>
	<li>A</li>
	<li>B</li>
</ul>
<h1Specific Study Group Notes</h1>
<h2>Award</h2>
<ul>
	<li>C</li>
</ul>
<h2>FFS</h2>
<ul>
	<li>C</li>
	<li>D</li>
</ul>

There could be many more Study Groups with more specific notes (eg not
duplicates.

Thanks a lot Tim

> There can be many different StudyGroupCodes, many CourseNoteTexts and many
Years. I would like to display a 'Generic' List of notes eg those that are
duplicated in every StudyGroup and then display lists of StudyGroups with the
CourseNoteTexts that are not duplicated in all other StudyGroups. I am
familiar with keys and get get lists of unigue items and group them but I
cannot exclude the items that do not appear in all StudyGroups...

Can you post the XSLT output you want to create for the above input?
