[xsl] Building a partial reference list

[J S Publications <admin at jspubs dot com>]

Hi

I am working on a project that involves creating HTML of one or two 
chapters of a complete book coded in XML. I need to build a subset of the 
reference list that only contains those references actually cited in the 
chapters we have extracted.

The complete reference list is available in a <citationList> that contains 
lots of <citation> elements which have an id attribute. The chapter text 
has <cite> elements to indicate citations, and these have the same id value 
in an attribute.

Is it possible to create the final reference list, including just one copy 
of each cited reference (the reference may well be cited more than once in 
the text), in alphabetical order as I am transforming the original XML 
document into the extracted chapters?

Chris
