Re: [xsl] Select everything up to and including the first <section>

How about for-each-groups?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
B <xsl:template match="chapter">
B B <xsl:result-document href="quatro-01-out.xml">
B B B <xsl:copy>
B B B B <xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-ending-with="section">
B B B B B <xsl:if test="position() = 1">
B B B B B B <xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
B B B B B </xsl:if>
B B B B </xsl:for-each-group>
B B B </xsl:copy>
B B </xsl:result-document>
B </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
output<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<chapter>
 <title>Title</title>
 <intro>
 <p>Intro</p>
 </intro>
 <section/>
</chapter>

I've always regretted that we don't have operators "until"
"until-and-including". But with 3.0 you can implement them as
higher-order-functions:

declare function until-and-including ($seq, $condition) {
B  head($seq), until-and-including(tail($seq)[$condition(head($seq))],
$condition)
}
return up-to-and-including(*, function($x){ boolean(self::section) }
