Subject: [xsl] [Xpath] Finding the *first* preceding sibling From: Stephane Bortzmeyer <bortzmeyer@xxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2003 16:26:45 +0200 |
I try to extract a text if the *immediate* preceding sibling is a given element (here, <blink>). For instance, in this document: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <para>Foo <blink>bar</blink> baz <invisible>bol</invisible>end.</para> The Xpath expression '/para/node()[preceding-sibling::blink]' yields: Found 3 nodes in simple.xml: -- NODE -- baz -- NODE -- <invisible>bol</invisible> -- NODE -- end. which seems fine. But I would like to retrieve only the node with content "baz". I tried '/para/node()[preceding-sibling::blink[1]]' but it gives exactly the same set of nodes. What did I miss in the Xpath specification? XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
