I'm new at this so apologies if this is naive but from my recent reading of the XSLT spec I remembered this: (excerpt from last paras of 7.6.1) "The following precedes each procedure element with a paragraph containing the security level of the procedure. It assumes that the security level that applies to a procedure is determined by a security attribute on the procedure element or on an ancestor element of the procedure. It also assumes that if more than one such element has a security attribute then the security level is determined by the element that is closest to the procedure. <xsl:template match="procedure"> <fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::*[@security][1]/@security"/> </fo:block> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> " >> the currently active value for xml:lang is >> >> <xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::*/@xml:lang[1]"/> >> >Not quite; that select expression returns the set of xml:lang values on all >ancestor nodes (the [1] does nothing, as an element can't have two xml:lang >attributes), and the xsl:value-of then selects the string value of the first >one in document order, which is the outermost. > >Correct is: > ><xsl:value-of select="(ancestor-or-self::*/@xml:lang)[last()]"/> > >or (perhaps marginally faster) > ><xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::*[@xml:lang][1]/@xml:lang"/> > >Mike Kay > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list ----------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our Internet site at http://www.reuters.com Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of Reuters Ltd.
