Re: [xsl] preceding sibling

[Mukul Gandhi <mukulgandhi2003@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kaarle,
  Can you please explain the XML structure? How does a
<notice> tag relate to the previous and next <notice>
tag? Is there some grouping?

In one <notice> tag, you have'nt mentioned tag="NAME"
-

<notice>
  <name>
    <givenname>Lena</givenname>
    <surname>Karamazina</surname>
  </name>
</notice>

Regards,
Mukul
