Hi Kenji,
I'm looking for a way to programatically create a list of XPaths
based on a given XML document. I can easily create an XPath that
will sort of work with a standard XML document that doesn't have
multiple items of the same name.
The easiest thing to do is to use xsl:number to number the elements
amongst their siblings. Try iterating over the elements as follows to
create the path to the current element:
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
<xsl:text />/<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
<xsl:text />[<xsl:number />]<xsl:text />
</xsl:for-each>
Cheers,
Jeni
