    <p>I have such xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;A1&gt; &lt;B1&gt; &lt;C1&gt; &lt;C2&gt; &lt;C3&gt; &lt;/B1&gt; &lt;B2&gt; &lt;C4&gt; &lt;C5&gt; &lt;C6&gt; &lt;/B2&gt; &lt;/A1&gt; &lt;A2&gt; &lt;B3&gt; &lt;C7&gt; &lt;C8&gt; &lt;C9&gt; &lt;/B3&gt; &lt;B4&gt; &lt;C10&gt; &lt;C11&gt; &lt;C12&gt; &lt;/B4&gt; &lt;/A2&gt; </code></pre> <p>I need to transform it to table with nested rows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table border="yes"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;A1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;B1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;C1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;C2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;C3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;B2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;C3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;C4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>A and B appear only if they are new (not repeating in every row);</p> <p>I'm trying to use position()</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="c"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="IT IS THE FIRST C IN A"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="ancestor::A"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;xsl:if test="position(1)"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="parent"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:if&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>It seems that we should emulate position() for ancestor. Is there a general solution for any number of nested rows?</p>

    1. COCould you, please, explain better? Why nodes starting from B2 and C3 up should not appear in the output? The rule for producing the output is not clear.

    2. COthe answer below fits, thanks. The idea was that every nodes A and B appear in table only once. not repeating itself.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
