Hi,
I'm having to manage an xslt that someone else wrote, that generally works correctly, but when it doesn't i have problems.
In one template that is a for-each command that is executed. The line is:
<xsl:for-each select="//errata_section[generate-id(.)=generate-id(key('module-index', module_impacted)[1])]">
<xsl:sort select="module_impacted"/>
That is the standard idiom known as Muenchian grouping (google for it)
that was used to group items (or remove duplicates0 in XSLT 1. It is
largely replaced by xsl:for-each-group in XSLT2.
