Re: [xsl] ancestor

It should be:
select="//inlineequation[not (ancestor::table)]"

I forgot to pull out the *=. Sorry about the oversight.

Re: [xsl] ancestor






Try this:

select="//inlineequation[not (ancestor::* = table)]"

The single quotation marks ('') make the XSL processor look for a string 
literal, when you want it to look for an element.

Hi,

I'm trying to get all inlineequation elements that are not in the table
element. The following is not working. I don't know why. I always get all
the inlineequation elements.

select="//inlineequation[not (ancestor::* = 'table')]"

I know this can be very expensive even if it works. What cab be a better 
way
to do it?

Thanks.
