Subject: RE: [xsl] Comparison Table for XML files From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 09:27:18 +0100 |
In 2.0 it's basically <xsl:for-each select="distinct-values($files/nodes/node/name)"> <xsl:variable name="name" select="."/> <row> <xsl:for-each select="$files"> <column> <xsl:value-of select="(nodes/node[name=$name]/value, 'NA')[1]"/> </column> </xsl:for-each> </row> </xsl:for-each> adapted of course to your precise input structure, plus a little code to add row and column headers.
