Subject: RE: [xsl] counting nodes before a certain node From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:02:07 -0000 |
Given XSLT 2.0, you can select two elements $a and $b, and then the number of elements between these two is count($b/preceding-sibling::*) - count($b/preceding-sibling::*) - 1 This is probably more efficient than count(*[. >> $a and $b >> .]) but you can use that if it's more convenient. (I'm assuming that by "between" you mean "between and on the same level". That is, the number of elements between <a/> and <b/> in <a/><node><child/></node><b/> is one.)
