RE: [xsl] following-sibling problem

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the expression at

    select="current-group() except ..."/>

?

It should be "current-group() except ."

I think what you've sent would be a syntax error though.

Can't see anything else wrong: if necessary, post the source document again,
and a complete stylesheet that demonstrates the problem - it's one of those
that's hard to debug without running it.
