You can test if the next sibling element is a T element using
test="following-sibling::*[1][self::T]"
However, I wouldn't solve this problem in that way. I would have logic
something like
<xsl:template match="C">
<tr>
<td><xsl:value-of select="P"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="(T, '*')[1]"/></td>
<td><xsl:value-of select="S"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
In 1.0 you would have to expand this out using xsl:choose.

Subject: [xsl] Check if next tag is ...
The XML file I work with contains records that most of the
time have three unique nodes. However, it is part of the
design that one of these nodes, T in the example, is
optional. Here is an example of a file.
<A>
<C>
<P>AAA</P>
<T>BBB</T>
<S>CCC</S>
</C>
<C>
<P>DDD</P>
<T>EEE</T>
<S>FFF</S>
</C>
<C>
<P>GGG</P>
<S>HHH</S>
</C>
</A>
The end result I'm aiming for is a rather simpel HTML table:
P T S
C AAA BBB CCC
C DDD EEE FFF
C GGG * HHH
C .... ... ....
The problem I'm having is that I'm trying to test when
processing the P node if the next node is T. If the next node
isn't T or if the T node doesn't exist then use the value *
instead. Now I've experiemented with following-sibling,
node() and value but haven't been successful.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial or
help me out.
My current list of references during development are:
[1] - http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTreference/Output/index.html,
[2] - http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/sect21.html=20
But these haven't been able to help me do what I want to do.
Any help is welcomed.
Regards,
Anne.
