>As you see, the common element are <element1> and <element2>.
>My questions are :
>1. as I'm really new to XSLT, is this related to multi-pass issue or
>grouping issue
>   ( Muenchian, Kaysian, etc ) ?
>2. how can I generate a correct indentation in the result tree ( XML output
>) as above ?
>   I mean how is it possible for me to generate, say, for that element the
>indentation is
>   4 chars ( 1 tab ), but for that element is 8 chars ( 2 tabs ) ?

>If you find my questions are too basics, rather than suggest me to read the
>on-line tutorials,
>buy those XSLT books, etc, please ignore my questions.
>If you think that we can advice, guide, and learn each others, I appreciate
