Hello!

I have an xml file that looks like the following:

<layout>
    <head-row>
        <data>
            <string>
            </string>
        </data>
    </head-row>

    <body-row>
        <data>
            <string>
            </string>
        </data>
    </body-row>
</layout>

Then I have a template rule in an XSL file that looks like the following:

<xsl:template match="//string">
.......Pseudo code:
<test if the current context node is a descendant of head-row>
    <p class="head-row">some content</p>
</test>

<test if the current context node is a descendant of body-row>
    <p class="body-row">some content</p>
</test>
...........


How can I test this?
