Ooops, that isn't true. I can't pass the result document down because the variable isn't updated until after the full file is processed thereby allowing multiple references to creep in. I'll have another go tomorrow using Liam's suggestion. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time. OK. So I've worked out that if I pass the current results document variable to the transform and check the already implemented xrefs to see if one already exists with this text then I can be sure not to repeat. <p>This line is included to mention <xref outputclass="glossaryTerm" href="Glossary Terms/ADSL.dita">ADSL</xref> so that it can be converted to a glossary cross-reference.</p> Unfortunately, I still struggle with these node tests and so, where $currentterm='ADSL': test="exists($resultdoc//xref/text()[$currentterm])" and all similar combinations don't appear to evaluate true(). Is it just me who seems to come to these tests fresh every time? What is it that I don't 'get'. Is there a common miscomprehension that I'm tripping over or can I blame the tools? ;-) Thanks, Richard -----Original Message----- From: Liam Quin [mailto:liam@xxxxxx] Sent: 30 July 2008 17:57 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] First occurrence of glossary term in whole document On Wed, Jul 30, 2008 at 03:27:39PM +0100, Marroc wrote: > I only want to process the first occurrence of each glossary term in > the document If they are marked up, you can use a reverse axis to find if there are earlier ones (if that's too slow you can do something cunning with key() and position()). If these are the terms you're replacing, and are not marked up, it might be easiest to run XSLT twice, first to mark up the terms and then to process them (or remove the markup from the ones you don't want). I've seen conversions with as many as 30 such steps in them -- it can be much easier to manage than doing everything in one pass.
