Re: [xsl] following-sibling question

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Mani,

the important elements don't have the same parent element, so you can't 
use following-sibling axis.

Either you change it to following axis:

<xsl:for-each select="document/filtered-text/important
              [not(.=following::important[1])]">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

or you must walk up the tree a bit:

<xsl:for-each select="document/filtered-text/important
[not(.=../../following-sibling::document/filtered-text/important[1])]">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

or if there is only one important element as descendant of document:

<xsl:for-each select="document[not(filtered-text/important = 
following-sibling::document[1]/filtered-text/important)]/filtered-text/important">

Regards,

Joerg
