Re: [xsl] Matching certain elements following an element

[Ramon Buckland <ramon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthew,

I am sure someone else on this list could do a better job,
code a far elebant solution, but this does
work with the sample you gave.

    <xsl:param name="section" select="'bar'"/>
    
    <xsl:template match="/">
        
        <!-- dump put what the following h2 is -->
        <xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="//h2[a/text() =
$section]/following::h2"/></xsl:message>
        
        <!-- select Only the nodes that are following-siblings of me, or
                of my ancestor (not my child or their child nodes, they
cop-of will do that for me) .. 
               where they have a h2 element that follows, that has the
same id as the one
              following the section we are interested in 
        -->
        <xsl:copy-of select="//h2[a/text() =
$section]/ancestor::*/following-sibling::*
            [
            (generate-id(following::h2[1]) = generate-id(//h2[a/text() =
$section]/following::h2[1]))
            ]
            
            |
            
            //h2[a/text() = $section]/following-sibling::*
            [
            (generate-id(following::h2[1]) = generate-id(//h2[a/text() =
$section]/following::h2[1]))
            ]
            
            "/>
        
    </xsl:template>
