Re: Grouping consecutive page numbers for index (xslt

Hi,

The same, using sibling recursion (all the usual caveats apply):

   <xsl:template match="pages">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="page[1]"/>
      </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="page">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="range"/>
      </xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::page[1]" mode="next-out"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="page" mode="range">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::page[1]" mode="next-in"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="page[not(. = preceding-sibling::page[1] + 1)]"
mode="next-in" priority="1"/>

   <xsl:template match="page[not(. + 1 = following-sibling::page[1])]"
mode="next-in">
      <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="page" mode="next-in">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::page[1]" mode="next-in"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="page" mode="next-out">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::page[1]" mode="next-out"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="page[not(. = preceding-sibling::page[1] + 1)]"
mode="next-out">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
   </xsl:template>

David's is a little shorter, but mine has more templates!

Of course, XSLT 2.0 is so much nicer --

<xsl:template match="pages">
   <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:for-each-group select="page"
group-starting-with="page[not(. = preceding-sibling::page[1] + 1)]">
         <page>
            <xsl:value-of select="current-group()[1]"/>
            <xsl:if test="exists(current-group()[2])">
               <xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
               <xsl:value-of select="current-group()[last()]"/>
            </xsl:if>
         </page>
      </xsl:for-each-group>
   </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
