RE: What does group-adjacent do in p:wrap?

Hi,

The group-adjacent option contains an XPath expression that determines
whether to put adjacent matching nodes in the same wrapper element. If
the group-adjacent expression evaluates to the same value for both
nodes, they will end up in the same wrapper.

For instance, the following pipeline:

<p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc">
  <p:wrap match="book"
          group-adjacent="/book/@attr"
          wrapper="foo"/>
</p:pipeline>

When applied to this document:

<books>
  <book attr="bar1"/>
  <book attr="bar2"/>
  <book attr="bar2"/>
  <book attr="bar3"/>
</books>

Produces:

<books>
  <foo>
    <book attr="bar1"/>
  </foo>
  <foo>
    <book attr="bar2"/>
    <book attr="bar2"/>
  </foo>
  <foo>
    <book attr="bar3"/>
  </foo>
</books>
