RE: [xsl] XSLT 1.0: Grouping Adjacent Elements in Embedded Lists

Hi Joe,

It's good you're banging away at this. The right way to learn.

At 11:52 AM 11/5/2004, you wrote:

If you mean "the first following sibling, if it is not an EM_OL_LI", that 
would be
  following-sibling::*[1][not(self::EM_OL_LI)]

If you mean "the first following sibling, except for EM_OL_LIs", that would be
  following-sibling::*[not(self::EM_OL_LI)][1]

Could that be handled by a template in the mode, matching OL_LI?

If I understand you correctly, yes.

Feel free to post full code again if you are still stuck.

Cheers,
Wendell
