AW: exlt set.distinct.template.xsl ?

Hello,

thanks, i am now sure, that i understand correctly the difference between
value-of and copy-of.

But only my adaption functions well, as i expect. Enclosed i copy you the
example from exslt that i cannot run correctly:

The change that i did is to tranfer the snippet <xsl:template
match="node()|@*" mode="set:distinct">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>   
</xsl:template>

to the transformation stylesheet  set.distinct.1.xsl, because i want to
customize the output adding an semi-colon (;) and the second adaption was
changing copy-of with value-of, to some obtain  some output.

How can i gain the same result without changing the original template from
exslt ?

Is there a tool, where i can see the result xml code?

Thanks, Hans
