Re: [xsl] testing for position of an element and displaying it accordingly

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

as has been stated before

<xsl:if test="a">
<xsl:apply-templates select="a"/>
</xsl:if>


is ___exactly__ the same thing as


<xsl:apply-templates select="a"/>


and this causes all a elements to be processed at this point, out of
their natural order. If you didn't do this your problem would go away.
