There are variable numbers of each dt/dd combination, but they are generally kept together by<dt> value. Ultimately I'd like to convert this into a pipe-separated-value file (with implied headers): Dear Evan, You say you are using xsltproc which is XSLT 1. On the other hand, you teach yourself XSLT 2.0 with Michael Kay's book. Can you switch to an XSLT 2 processor, such as Saxon? Then this will serve as a solution: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0" > <xsl:output method="text" /> <xsl:template match="dl">
<xsl:variable name="dds" as="xs:string+">
<xsl:for-each-group select="dt" group-by=".">
<xsl:sequence
select="string-join(
for $dt in current-group()
return $dt/following-sibling::*[1]/self::dd,
','
)">
</xsl:sequence>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:sequence select="string-join($dds, '|')" />
</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet> This is based on the assumption that each dt is followed by exactly one dd. If there may be multiple dds after each dt, you should group adjacent dds in a first pass. -Gerrit -- Gerrit Imsieke GeschC$ftsfC<hrer / Managing Director le-tex publishing services GmbH Weissenfelser Str. 84, 04229 Leipzig, Germany Phone +49 341 355356 110, Fax +49 341 355356 510 gerrit.imsieke@xxxxxxxxx, http://www.le-tex.de Registergericht / Commercial Register: Amtsgericht Leipzig Registernummer / Registration Number: HRB 24930 GeschC$ftsfC<hrer: Gerrit Imsieke, Svea Jelonek, Thomas Schmidt, Dr. Reinhard VC6ckler
