Thanks for the link, however it stills seems a little over my head. How to
get all the unique <ref/> elements?
<!-- XML snippet -->
<document>
<section>
<para>text text text text <ref name="a1" /> text text text.</para>
</section>
<section>
<para>text text text text <ref name="y1" /> text text text.</para>
</section>
<section>
<para>text text text text <ref name="b4" /> text text text.</para>
</section>
<section>
<list type="number">
<listitem><ref name="a1" /></listitem>
<listitem><ref name="ko" /></listitem>
<listitem><ref name="7u" /></listitem>
<listitem><ref name="y1" /></listitem>
<listitem><ref name="b4" /></listitem>
</list>
</section>
</document>
<!-- Desired output -->
<ref name="a1" />
<ref name="y1" />
<ref name="b4" />
<ref name="ko" />
<ref name="7u" />
I assume my xsl:key element would look like
<xsl:key name="name-of-unique-list" match="ref" use="@name" />
but then how do I make sure I am matching on all ref elements regardless of
where they are located in the document?
what would my xsl:template @match value be?
what would my xsl:for-each @select value be?
<xsl:key name="name-of-unique-list" match="ref" use="@name" />
<xsl:template match="???">
<xsl:for-each select="???">
???
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Thanks for you help
Noel
