Hi Tom,

I see now, that you already have to test whether the current node is in the key-table ... and that your code is correct then.

The difference between your "overkill"-solution and the Muenchian Method is a "[1]" at the end of the key().
So
count( . | key('firsts', @ContentText)[1] ) = 1
is "pure" Muenchian Method (with the much easier <xsl:key/>).

Sorry for the inconvenience. Once again I wrote and sent a mail faster than I can read and think ;-)

Hi Joerg,

Thanks for pointing out that the key was a bit of an overkill. The only
thing that I didn't understand was this:

With your key you only have these nodes in your key-table, which are the first with its attribute value. So you would not need the Muenchian Method itself:

<xsl:when test="(count(. | key('firsts',@ContentText)) = 1)">

An easy key('firsts',@contentText) would be enough.

Are you saying that I can use this: test = "key('firsts',@ContentText)" -
because I don't understand how that will know whether the node I'm looking
at is the same as the one in the key, or another one with the same
ContentText value?

Regards,
Tom
