Hi guys, I have another question. If I wanted to process many XML files I will need to add the document() function. The end result of all this would be a master index. I have many manuals, each chapter is its own XML file, so I would like to have one XML file process many XML files and creates one master index file. I am not sure how to go about it. Should I use a Key to index all the indexterms from all the XML files? Here is my XML file list all the chapters that need to be combined into one index: <manual> <title>MelChapter1.xml</title> <title>Chapter9a.xml</title> </manual> Each XML file will have something like this: <book> <indexterm name="GMM">Aircraft Logbook Entry</indexterm> <indexterm name="Smith Airways">MEL Policy and Revision number</indexterm> <indexterm name="GMM">MX-4 Deffered Items</indexterm> <indexterm name="E190">Aircraft Tail</indexterm> <indexterm name="E190">Landing Gear</indexterm> <indexterm name="Election">Voting</indexterm> </book> Here is my XSLT so far with the added Document function. All it does is loop through each XML but doesnt group all the indexterms into one: <xsl:output method="html"/> <xsl:variable name="XML1" select="/"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>Manual Index</title> </head> <body> <a name="top"/> <xsl:for-each select="$XML1"> <xsl:for-each select="manual"> <xsl:for-each select="title"> <xsl:variable name="thetitle" select="."/> <xsl:for-each-group select="document($thetitle)//indexterm" group-by="substring(@name,1,1)"> <xsl:sort select="@name"/> <xsl:variable name="book" select="@bookmark"/> <h1> <xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/> </h1> <span style="font-size:xx-small; color:lightgray; "> <p align="right"> <a href="#top">[Return to Top]</a> </p> </span> <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="@name"> <span style="color:blue;"> <xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/> </span> <xsl:for-each select="current-group()"> <xsl:sort select="."/> <ul> <span style="font-size:x-small;"> <a href="{$thetitle}{'#'}{$book}"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </a> </span> </ul> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> Thanks Again, Phil -----Original Message----- From: philip vallone [mailto:philip.vallone@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2006 4:06 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Multi-grouping with keys (back of book index) Thanks for the help. This works great in 2.0. I was originally using the Muenchian method because I was using MSXML with Internet Explorer to process. This is much easier. Here is what I used to output to HTML: Once again...Thanks <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>Manual Index</title> </head> <style type="text/css"> h2 {font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13pt} li {font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11pt} </style> <body> <xsl:for-each select="$XML1"> <xsl:for-each-group select="//indexterm" group-by="substring(@name,1,1)"> <xsl:sort select="@name"/> <h1> <xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/> </h1> <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="@name"> <span style="color:blue;"> <xsl:value-of select="current-grouping-key()"/> </span> <xsl:for-each select="current-group()"> <xsl:sort select="."/> <ul> <span style="font-size:x-small;"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </span> </ul> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:for-each> </body> </html> </xsl:template> -----Original Message----- From: G.

I hope the following use of XSLT 2 facilities helps. . . . . . . . . .
