Merging attribute values to unique list
Hi there,
I'm wondering the best way to do something in cocoon-2.1... assuming I have a
file along the lines of:
<foo id="a1">
<body wit="A B E D">some stuff</body>
<body wit="C A G">some other stuff</body>
</foo>
What I want to produce is a list of links one for each unique witness,
so in this case something like:
<p>See the reading for:
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="A">A</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="B">B</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="C">C</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="D">D</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="E">E</a>
<a href="foo/a1.xml?wit="G">G</a>
</p>
So, I'm assuming what needs to happen is that I need to somehow produce
a list of each of the tokenized contents of //body/@wit which are
then sorted and made unique. Any suggestions on how to go about this
without using loads of extensions or anything that is non-standard cocoon?
(Assuming that I know less java than a dazed gnat.)

This is a pure XSLT question. You'll find a variety of
tokenization code snippets in the XSL FAQ, reachable from
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/
You should also take a look eth the EXSLT tokenize() function,
which should be supported by Xalan (not sure about XSLTC, just
try it).
Further questions about this topic are best asked on the XSL
list.
