My original document looks like this:

    <para role = "command-line-verbose">
        <emphasis role = "command">
            &script-name;
        </emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "mandatory-short-option">d</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "mandatory-option">days</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "mandatory-option-argument">days</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option">verbose</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option-with-argument">append</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option-argument">device</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option-with-argument">backup-to</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option-argument">device</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "short-option">m</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option">multiple-archive</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option">verify</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option">quiet</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option">dummy</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "option">no-remove</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "mandatory-short-option">f</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "mandatory-option">file</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "mandatory-option-argument">file</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "or">|</emphasis>
        <emphasis role = "arguments">path</emphasis>
    </para>


A fragment from my xsl document looks like this:

    <xsl:template match = "emphasis[@role = 'option']|emphasis[@role =
    'option-with-argument']">
        <xsl:if test = "not(preceding-sibling::*[1][@role = 'short-option'])">
            <block new-lines-after = "1">
                <xsl:text>[</xsl:text>
            </block>
        </xsl:if>
        <block new-lines-after = "0">
            <xsl:text>.B --</xsl:text>
        </block>
        <block new-lines-after = "1">
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </block>
        <xsl:if test = "not(following-sibling::emphasis[1][@role = 'option-argument'])">
            <block new-lines-after = "1">
                <xsl:text>]</xsl:text>
            </block>
        </xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>



I am not generating an error when I run my stylesheet. But the "if"
statement does not work. That is, the template with the "following
sibling" instruction outputs a bracket. My "if" statement is trying to
say "if the next sibling has the role with a value of 'argument', don't
output the bracket." 

I hope this is clearer

Thanks

Paul
