Hi there,

I have a number of files with tei:l elements in them.  So I create a
collection:
<xsl:variable name="docs" select="collection($path)"/>
and then want to iterate over the collection grouping all first lines
together, all second lines together, etc.
Something like this:

<xsl:for-each-group select="$docs//tei:l" group-by="f:position()">
...
</xsl:for-each-group>

<xsl:function name="f:position" as="xs:integer">
  <xsl:param name="node" as="node()"/>
  <xsl:number select="$node" level="any"/>
</xsl:function>
Oh, that seems to work!  So instead of grouping by position() which
always ends up being the same, this calls a function which gets a
better xsl:number using @level='any'.

Thanks!

It should of course have been group-by="f:position(.)"
