Subject: RE: [xsl] Xpath and Ranges From: "David White" <davidw@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 07:56:15 -0500 |
Hello, The below statement works fine when I run a XQUERY against my XML. It returns the nodes that I need. for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2) However, when I plug it into a XSLT template it complains about the >>,<< characters. I have tried different versions of them but none validate. <xsl:template match="for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2)"> <xsl:element name="sect1"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> Any suggestions?

If you know that the nodes are siblings, and you are positioned on their parent, then you can do (title[1] , *[. >> title[1] and . << title[2]] , title[2]) If they aren't siblings and you are positioned on the root, then you can do for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2) That's XPath 2.0; in 1.0 it's more tricky.
