Re: Combining XSLT 2.0's Grouping with eXist

[Andrew Welch]

Hi Bill,

The best thing to do is sign up to one of the mailing lists:

"xquery talk" http://x-query.com/mailman/listinfo/talk

"xml dev" http://www.xml.org/xml-dev/

Ask your question there, hopefully get a helpful response, and then
the email chain gets archived so its useful for anyone encountering a
similar problem in the future.

The short answer is yes - most xquery engines provide a way of
transforming a the result of a query through a proprietary extension,
the one for eXist is documented here:

http://exist.sourceforge.net/xquery.html#N10375
