- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
I have Japanese characters on my machine, but I don't understand them.
In my source document I have 10 entries per page,
In groups of (approximately) 4.
e.g.
page 100
Alpha
.....
Alpha
.....
Beta
......
Beta
.....
I want to make an index to that alpha only appears once in the index.
the index will show:
index
Alpha .........................page 100
Beta ..........................page 100
I need to exclude the 'repetitions' of the names which are the same,
and which are on the same page.
Sorry if I was not clear.
I solved it by selecting the 'first' Alpha (in the example above) and
in the index, rather than all of them.
I think this is an issue that should be solved in the XSL-FO recommendation.
