Is it testing whether > /legal_authenticator/person' exists?? Yes. The value of a variable is a node-set; when used as a test in an xsl:if, it is converted to a boolean. An empty node-set is treated as false, a non-empty node-set as true. > > 3)<person_name> > <nm> > <GIV V="Henry"/> > <FAM V="Levin"/> > </nm> > <person_name.type_cd V="L" S="2d"/> > </person_name> > > For the above xml, I see the following in the stylesheet > <xsl:apply-templates > select='person_name[person_name.type_cd/@V="L"]'/> > What do the [] mean??

Asking questions on this list is a way to solve any problems you have, it's not the way to find out basic facts about the language. [] is a predicate: it filters a node-set according to a boolean condition.
