Hi,
to explain it in more detail I uploaded an example xml and xsl
(I don't want to post it all to the list) with result html to a server:
http://digipub.fhnon.de/~mpetersen/xsl/
The xml file contains 2 books with some chapters and sections,
the text to be used as $query is hard coded in the xsl (in this case
'test'). The result is what I expect: a list of sections which contain
the word (highlighted in html), and the list should contain all parent
sections and chapters of this sections.
The question for me is how to pass an unknown number of words to
the stylesheet and how to build the select-clause dynamically. For now
it is limited to one word, but I need something like "not(word1) and word2"
or "word1 or (word2 and word3)".
Thanks for your help and greetings,
Marko

This is wrong. The above code will apply a template only to every
"chapter" node, the text of which contains that of $query -- not to any
descendent of a "chapter", even if the descendent contains the text of
$query.
At first it may seem that a "chapter" will be selected if one of its
descendents contains $query -- this may not be the case. A "chapter"
may be selected even if none of its descendents (including its own
children text nodes) contains $query. This will be the case, when
$query is "made up" by the concatenation of the text of several
descendents.
It seems to me that the code above does not express at all what you
wanted.
