Re:[xsl] inserting verseEnd milestone

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

If I understand you correctly, try

<xsl:when 
test="following::*[self::p|self::line][1]/child::node()[1][self::verse]">

This picks up the following element nodes, throws away all but the p and 
line elements, takes the first of those, and selects its first node child 
if it's a verse.

?

The "|" may appear to be an "or" but it's really a union operator. The 
expression "following::*[self::p or self::line]" would do as well.

Or you could do "(following::p|following::line)[1]/node()[1][self::verse]". 
This groups the following p and line elements, takes the first, and picks 
the first child if it's a verse.

Cheers,
Wendell
