Hi, Kanthi:
This is much simpler than the grouping problems we
usually see. All you need is matching up @id, the
following template should do the trick:
<xsl:template match="OuterTag">
<xsl:for-each select="Books/Book">
<xsl:variable name="bookid" select="@id"/>
<xsl:text>Title: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="Title"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>Author: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="Author"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>Address: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../../Addresses/Address[@id
= $bookid]/Street"/>
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../../Addresses/Address[@id
= $bookid]/Country"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of
select="../../Publishers/Publisher[@id =
$bookid]/Name"/>
<xsl:text>

</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps,
Xiaocun
