Re: [xsl] matching elements of a list

[Rolf Schumacher <mailinglist@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much, Jeff.

Worked right away on that sample.
Targeting it to my more complex problem (XMI spec)
is not as easy because the links are not just a sibling.
However with your example I should be able to figure out
how that will work.

Thank you, again

Rolf
