Re: get immediat preceeding node, if it is a comment

What about preceding vs. following ;-)

But the result is the same.

Sure. But aren't they both the same (they select the same node)?


No.

If you are in <a/> in
<x>
 <a/><b>b</b><!--x--><c/>
</x>

 preceding-sibling::node()[normalize-space()][self::comment()][1]

selects the comment <!--x--> as that is the first node that is
non empty string value and is a comment.

preceding-sibling::node()[normalize-space()][1][self::comment()]

selects the empty node set as the first node with non empty string value
is not a comment.
