Hi I have an xml

<Fields>
 <Field type="Separator" pos="start" />
 <Field type="1" />
 <Field type="2" />
 <Field type="3" />
 <Field type="Separator" pos="start" />
 <Field type="4" />
 <Field type="3" />
 <Field type="Separator" pos="start" />
 <Field type="2" />
 <Field type="3" />
...
</Fields>

I need an xsl that would put the field with type other than Separator into separate tables like

<table>
 <tr>
   <td>1</td>
   <td>2</td>
   <td>3</td>
 </tr>
</table>
<table>
   <td>4</td>
   <td>3</td>
   <td></td>
</table>
<table>
   <td>2</td>
   <td>3</td>
   <td></td>
</table>

Please help thanks

In XSLT 2.0, use

<xsl:for-each-group select="Field" group-starting-with="Field[@type='Separator']">

For 1.0 it's more difficult but there are well-known solutions: try a search for "XSLT positional grouping".

Hi I almost got it, I have an xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Page>
  <Fields>
    <Field type="HI" label="1"></Field>
    <Field type="HI" label="2"></Field>
    <Field type="HI" label="3"></Field>
    <Field type="YES" label="YES"></Field>
    <Field type="HI" label="4"></Field>
    <Field type="HI" label="5"></Field>
  </Fields>
</Page>



and xsl



<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:asp="remove">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes"></xsl:output>
    <xsl:template match="/Page">
        <table>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="Fields" />
        </table>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="Fields">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="Field" />
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="Field">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="@type='YES'">
                <xsl:value-of select="@type" />
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:when test="((@type='HI') and not(preceding-sibling::Field[1]/@type='HI'))">
                <table>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                            <xsl:value-of select="@label" />
                        </td>
                        <xsl:call-template name="generate-table-elements">
                            <xsl:with-param name="list" select="following-sibling::Field/@type" />
                        </xsl:call-template>
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template name="generate-table-elements">
        <xsl:param name="list" />
        <xsl:if test="$list[1]='HI'">
            <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="@label" />
            </td>
            <xsl:call-template name="generate-table-elements">
                <xsl:with-param name="list" select="$list[position() > 1]" />
            </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


in which the output goes


<table xmlns:asp="remove">
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
</table>YES<table>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>


but I need it to be

<table xmlns:asp="remove">
<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</table>YES<table>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
</tr>
</table>
</table>
