I can get the exact results I desire with a pair of for-each loops and a variable containing a node set, but I was hoping for something "clean". It looks like nearly the exact same question was asked here: http://www.biglist.com/cgi-bin/wilma/wilma_hiliter/xsl-list/200006/msg00561.html And Micheal Kay answered with a reference to his book: http://www.biglist.com/cgi-bin/wilma/wilma_hiliter/xsl-list/200006/msg00569.html My copy of the book is the second edition as where I believe by the date of the message he was referring to the first. Anyone know where I can find said example in the new edition or know of a more elegant solution then using contains() on a concatenated list or the brute force for-each method?
