Subject: RE: [xsl] postion gives me 2 instead of 1 From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2003 11:58:42 +0100 |
FAQ: the first child is the whitespace text node that precedes the element. But match = "listitem/para[1]" should work, because the [1] here means "the first para child of a listitem". The position() function tests the number of the element within the sequence of nodes being processed by the calling xsl:apply-templates call.
