Hi all,

I have a XML which has list items like

<list type="expl" margin="0">
<li label="(1)">
<p num="n">
<text>
(1) A person
is guilty of an offence if:
</text>
</p>
</li>
</list>
<list type="expl" margin="0">
<li label="(a)">
<p num="n">
<text>
(a) the
person deals with money or other property; and
</text>
</p>
</li>
</list>


The output i need is like

<list type="expl">
<li label="(1)">
<p num="n">
<text>A person is guilty of an offence if:</text>
</p>
<list type="expl">
<li label="(a)">
<p num="n">
<text>the person deals with money or other property; and</text>
</p>
</li>
</list>
</list>

Effectively if List appears as consecutive siblings, and they are of different types (eg, (1)/(a)/(i)) they must be nested inside the previous list item.

Thanks

If you're using XSLT 2.0, take a look at

If you're not using XSLT 2.0, perhaps it's time to upgrade?

Thanks Michael for your reply.

Any idea how we could do it with the patterns that I have specified (1)/(a)/(i) etc, group-adjacent wud group with a common attribute value.

If you could elaborate on the code it will be really great as I have not come across such a thing before

Thanks in advance

Srini

The requirement to group adjacent items that are different, and not group those that are the same, is rather unusual, but you could do it using
