<li>'s parent is <ul>. You may want to use ancestor to check grandparents,
great grandparents etc.

Subject: [xsl] testing parent node with xsl:choose
I want to test whether a particular node has a
particular parent node. For example, in 1.xml I have
<spool>
<identification>
<ul> <li>This Text</li></ul>
</identification>
</spool>
In 2.xml I have
text text text <ul><li>more text </li></ul> text text
text
The template I wrote:
<xsl:template match="li">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="parent::spool">
<xsl:apply-templates /><br /></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><li><xsl:apply-templates/>
</li>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
The commands however, produce the same result which
tells me that the condition is not being tested, or
that I am not properly testing the node. How do I fix
it?
Thank you.
