I was not careful in the way I described this problem. Each group consists of a single title with one or more citations. What I must have said is that I wanted to set the Title in each group to "keep". What I *should* have said was, I want to set the only the first group to "keep". For the input data at the end of this email, that would be the title "Further observations". Is it a co-incidence that it is alphabetically the first and positioned as first? I'm assuming because of your use of <xsl:sort> that the alphabetical order is important in the determination of first. All the rest would not be marked "keep". Then I would have worded your request "the first of the sorted population" not "the first of the group". Clearly, I do not want (from listing 1): It wasn't clear to me because you were grouping articles and asked for the first of the group. I believe Martin interpreted it the same way. I now understand you were grouping the population of articles and need a keep on the first of the sorted population. However, I do not know XPath well. How do I select only the first group for marking and let the other groups pass without marking them?
I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ken
