RE: [xslt] Concatenating blocks (and a bit more) with XSLT

["Ilpide, Emmanuel" <Emmanuel_Ilpide csgsystems com>]

Quite smart.. ;) It does work... ;) Thanx

But now, how could I make that generic so that it works on XXX blocks
but also on YYY, ZZZ... w/o duplicating the code ?

Challenging? ;)

Assuming 'delete' always comes first, then use a <xsl:if> to test for 
'add' element along the following-sibling axis.

   <xsl:template match="XXX[ action = 'delete']">
     <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="following-sibling::XXX
           [ action = 'add'][position()=1]">
         <XXX action="modify">
            <xsl:copy-of select="old"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::XXX
                [ action = 'add'][position()=1]"/>
         </XXX>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
       </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="XXX[ action = 'add']">
     <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::XXX
           [ action = 'delete'][position()=1]">
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
       </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>


Ciao,
