# Hello, I am new :)
# 
# I have an XSLT query I could not find any solution to elsewhere. I need to
# know if my context node is *immediately* proceeded by another node of a
# certain type, in document order. So, ideally the test would return true
# for:
# 
# <foo></foo><context>I am here</context>
# 
# but not for:
# 
# <foo></foo>some character data<context>I am here</context>
# 
# Is this possible in XSLT or using a Saxon extension? Have I missed a very
# simple solution? I would be extremely grateful for any advice!
# 
# Thanks,
