Re: Muenchian grouping help - removing 'duplicates' fr

Please try the 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:key name="text-by-content" match="text" use="."
/>
	
  <xsl:template match="/dictionary">
     <dictionary>
        <xsl:for-each select="text">
           <xsl:if test="generate-id(.) =
generate-id(key('text-by-content', .)[1])">
              <text>
                 <xsl:value-of select="." />
              </text>
           </xsl:if>
         </xsl:for-each>   
     </dictionary>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
