Re: [xsl] Apply Comment Position

["Michael Müller-Hillebrand mmh@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Since I dig grouping Martinbs solution is clever and thanks for reminding me
of tail()!

Depending on the underlying logic, you might rather loop over the ext-link:

<xsl:template match="article-meta">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:for-each select="ext-link">
      <cp id="{@id}">
        <email>
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
          <!-- pull in first preceding comment -->
          <xsl:copy-of
select="preceding-sibling::node()[self::comment()][1]"/>
        </email>
      </cp>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Happy coding,

- Michael
