 Infexions (WA) Pty Ltduse:
<xsl:apply-templates select="/news/article[not(@id =
preceding::article/@id)]"/>
when you call the article template, e.g.
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<news>
<article id="1">
<headline>article one</headline>
</article>
<article id="2">
<headline>article two</headline>
</article>
<article id="3">
<headline>article three</headline>
</article>
<article id="1">
<headline>article one</headline>
</article>
</news>
XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>unique news</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="/news/article[not(@id =
preceding::article/@id)]"/>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="article">
<li>
<xsl:value-of select="headline"/>
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
