Re: [xsl] How to get the sibling node just before the context node?

Hi,
          Your xml is not well-formed due to 2 reasons.

1. All elements in your XML must be a child of a root element
2. Th Text1 and Text2 elements do not have matching closing tags.

Having said that, the following stylesheet should do what you want.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                   version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/X">
<xsl:apply-templates select="C"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="C">
     <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::B[1]"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

And the input XML I used was


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<X>
<A>
  <TEXT1> at1 </TEXT1>

  <TEXT2> at2 </TEXT2>

</A>
<B>
  <TEXT1>  t1</TEXT1>

  <TEXT2>t2  </TEXT2>

</B>
<C>
  <TEXT1> ct1 </TEXT1>

  <TEXT2>  ct2</TEXT2>

</C>
</X>

For example,

<A>
  <TEXT1>
  <TEXT2>
</A>
<B>
  <TEXT1>
  <TEXT2>
</B>
<C>
  <TEXT1>
  <TEXT2>
</C>


If context node is C, I want to get only B.

I tried using preceding-sibling::TEXT1 but I always get TEXT1 of node A,
but I want to get it of node B.

Thanks in advance
Jaime
