Subject: RE: [xsl] Conditional processing for first and last of a set of elements From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 23:06:50 -0000 |
I have to admit I'm a little bit sympathetic to you tackling this problem with disable-output-escaping - it's a gross abuse of the XSLT processing model, but this is a tough problem to crack if you do it the correct way with a tree-to-tree transformation, especially for an inexperienced XSLT developer. Having said that, your test conditions are obvious nonsense: test="position()=//br[text()='LineNumberHolder'][position()=1] What do you expect to achieve by comparing a position (which is always a number) to a <br/> node (which is always empty)?. And why are you looking for a <br> element containing the text "LineNumberHolder" - if the input is XHTML, as you tell us, then no br elements will contain this text. Also, you are comparing the position not just to the current br element, but to every br element in the document.
