I could use some hints on using for-each group in 2.0 using Saxon8.

If I understand your question properly, then it isn't a "grouping problem" per se, that is, it doesn't need for-each-group.


I am sure that the problem is my stylesheet. Here is the input:
...
I am trying to group the name attribute of the <selection> elements with matching <item> selection attributes so that the <items> follow their <selection> elements.

You don't give an example, but I've got an answer below that has item elements following selection elements where the attributes correspond. I think that is what you are asking for.


Thanks in advance for any hints,

I hope the answer below suffices ... but it doesn't use any grouping functionality.


. . . . . . . . . Ken
