XSLT XML Style Sheet Demo
This project is not designed to be a comprehensive guide to `XSLT`. It is designed to be a simple, easy to understand, and easy to follow example of how to use `XSLT` and how `1.0` differs from `2.0` (and how to answer a question on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/)).

## Background Story
Throwback to my first answer on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/) on `08/19/2022` titled: [XSLT grouping into header & positions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73288223/xslt-grouping-into-header-positions).
Unironically (being that it was my first ever answer), its still the only answer I have with a net negative score (`-1` at the moment). The commenter who berated me, actually made a good point. The question was indeed over my head and I did miss the tag when I answered it, but a few months later I went back to tackle it again, answering it correctly in both `XSLT 1.0` and `2.0`.
Don't give up on your previous poor answers. Sometimes you need to revisit them later to see how much you've grown.
**Happy Coding! 🚀**
> [!TIP]
> Sometimes people won't specify the exact tech they're using in the question, and utilize tags instead, so be sure to look at the tags and don't be afraid to add a comment to ask for a tag if it is missing!
## Getting Started
- `2.0` I utilized [xsl:for-each-group](https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#xsl-for-each-group) to achieve the expected output.
- `1.0` was a little trickier, I utilized [Muenchian Grouping](https://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/muenchian.html) to achieve the expected output.
I used [.NET XSLT Fiddle](https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/) to test my `XSLT` code (which utilizes the [Saxon 10.6 HE Engine](https://www.saxonica.com/welcome/welcome.xml)). I highly recommend it.

- `1.0` [XSLT Fiddle](https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/jyH7UDF)
I've included a copy of the `XSLT` files in this repository for reference (the `XSLT` file extension is `.xsl`)
- [XSLT v1.0](style_sheet_v1.xsl)
- [XSLT v2.0](style_sheet_v2.xsl)
