Subject: Re: [xsl] Equivalence between XSL and XPath expression From: Geert Josten <Geert.Josten@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2004 22:24:52 +0100 |
I would have guessed that the 'equivalent' would have been: count(self::menu)+count(preceding::menu)
Cheers, Geert
And the question is: Is this XPath expression
count(./ancestor-or-self::menu)+count(./preceding::menu)
equivalent to this XSL expression?
<xsl:variable name="position"> <xsl:number level='any' count="menu"/> </xsl:variable>
Almost. xsl:number will never return 0, but the XPath expression might. Take a look at the XSLT 2.0 spec which defines xsl:number in terms of equivalent XPath expressions.
