Re: [xsl] Retrieving Full XPATH expression

["john smith" <john_smith73@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is one way of doing it:

 <!--
      Gets the full xpath of the current node.
      For first index, [1] is not outputted
 -->
 <xsl:template match="*" mode="fullXPath" >
   <xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
     <xsl:variable name="id"
 	select="generate-id(.)" />
     <xsl:variable name="name" select="name()" />
     <xsl:value-of select="concat('/',name())"/>
     <xsl:for-each select="../*[name()=$name]" >
       <xsl:if test="generate-id(.)=$id and position() != 1">
         <xsl:text>[</xsl:text>
         <xsl:value-of
 	    select="format-number(position(),'0')"/>
         <xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
       </xsl:if>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:if test="not(self::*)">
     <xsl:value-of select="concat('/@',name())" />
   </xsl:if>
 </xsl:template>
