Re: problems with copying duplicate nodes

Hi Rahil,
  You could try something like following..

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:common="http://exslt.org/common"
exclude-result-prefixes="common"
version="1.0">
 
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" /> 
 
<xsl:key name="by-td" match="temp/TD" use="." />
 
<xsl:template match="node() | @*"> 
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="TABLE/TR/TR"> 
   <xsl:variable name="rtf">
     <temp>
       <xsl:copy-of select="TD" />
     </temp>  
   </xsl:variable>
   <xsl:for-each select="$rtf/temp/TD[generate-id() =
generate-id(key('by-td', .)[1])]">
     <xsl:copy-of select="." />
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

The stylesheet uses node-set function, and Muenchian
Grouping (over a RTF) .. The stylesheet is tested with
Saxon 8.4.

Mukul
