RE: [xsl] I only want to process the first node... ;)

["Geert Josten" <geert.josten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Norman,

Add a root template that only applies templates on the direct S child nodes of
Analysis and on each first descendant S within each non-S direct child of
Analysis. Something like:

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:apply-templates select="Analysis/S | Analysis/*//S[1]" />
</xsl:template>

Note: the union sort the S element to document order, and the [1] predicate
does not result in just one S descendant (at least, that is the intention)

Kind regards,
Geert
