Re: [xsl] Are non-linear transformation possible?

["Marrow" <marrow at marrowsoft dot com>]

Hi Rich,

Something like?...

== XSL ===================================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="allresults">
  <results>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="results[1]/row"/>
  </results>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row">
  <xsl:variable name="curr-pos" select="position()"/>
  <row>
    <xsl:copy-of
select="node()|../following-sibling::results/row[$curr-pos]/node()"/>
  </row>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
== end of XSL ==============================

Hope this helps
