Subject: [xsl] get immediat preceeding node, if it is a comment
Hello,
I have a little problem, which I am unable to find the
solution because I
must think to devious...
I have a XML with some comments on the nodes, just before,
that I want to get.
My problem is : there are not always there, so I cannot just use
"preceding-sibling::comment()[1]".
Therefore, 2 questions :
- how to get the immediat preceeding node, when you don't
know what it will
be (element, comments, and for extension PIs, text())
- how can I filter comments from it
Thanks in advance.
