Re: looping problem, <xsl: for-each>??

Hi James,
 This is a grouping problem, which can be solved by
the Muenchian method. Please try the following XSL --

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
   <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
   <xsl:key name="x" match="/rss/channel/item"
use="category" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:for-each select="rss/channel/item">
        <xsl:if test="generate-id(.) = generate-id(key('x',
category)[1])">
         <h1>
            <xsl:value-of select="category" />
         </h1>
        <xsl:for-each select="key('x', category)">
ITEM<!-- ?? -->  <xsl:value-of select="description"/>
        </xsl:for-each>
       </xsl:if>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

You want the labels to be output as -- ITEM1, ITEM2,
ITEM3, ITEM 4. I cannot think of a good way to do
this. <!-- ?? --> part of my XSL needs to be
completed.

Something using position() and count() should be
required..

Cheers,
Wendell

I have the following format but am having trouble trying to group items (in html) under one common category so that it isnt repeated for every item but can act as a title:
<rss version="0.92">
- <channel>
- <item>
<title>title here</title>
<category>Top Stories</category>
<link>http</link>
<description>text is heredescription>
</item>
</channel>
<item>
<title>title here</title>
<category>top stories</category>
<link>http</link>
<description>text is heredescription>
</item>
</channel>
<item>
<title>title here</title>
<category>Stories today</category>
<link>http</link>
<description>text is heredescription>
</item>
</channel>
<item>
<title>title here</title>
<category>Stories today</category>
<link>http</link>
<description>text is heredescription>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

e.g. the final look i wanted to create was:
<h1>top stories </h1>
ITEM1 <xsl:value-of select="description">
ITEM2 <xsl:value-of select="description">
<h1>stories today</h1>
ITEM3 <xsl:value-of select="description">
ITEM4 <xsl:value-of select="description">
