I can do all the other parts, it was just getting the first-letter that was puzzling me. As it is to provide a clickable image leading to the page of incipits starting with this letter. I've used translate() to make sure the (usually upper case) letters are upper since they will always be a-z. >In most cases above that is a space, but sice you had a normalize-space >in one of your suggestions I assume you want the first non space letter >in a text node child of bar, which is something like >substring(normalize-space(text()[normalize-space()]),1,1) Yup, and a quick test seems to indicate that works! I'm not entirely sure I understand text()[normalize-space()] though. That selects the text() node restricting it to the normalize-spaced version of itself? David to the rescue as usual!
