Subject: [xsl] Using node-set variables in predicates (another node comparison question) From: "Chris Papademetrious christopher.papademetrious@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2022 06:00:22 -0000 |
Hi everyone, and happy new year's! Let's say I have a variable that contains a set of nodes: <xsl:variable name="nodes" select="//(foo|bar|baz)"/> In XPath 3.0, I can apply a template directly to this node-set variable (very cool!): <xsl:template match="$nodes"> However, what's the best way to use this node-set variable as a predicate filter? For example, let's say I wanted to select every preceding sibling node directly before each node in the variable: <xsl:template match="preceding-sibling::node()[1][. intersect $nodes]"> The "interesect" operator works, but it's not intuitive. Is there a simple Boolean operator that indicates whether a given node exists in a set of nodes? ([. = $nodes] compares text evaluations of the nodes, not the nodes themselves.) I hope the answer is not obvious, because I spent longer than I'd like to admit trying to figure this out. :) - Chris
