RE: [XPath] matching elements which satisfy a specific cont ent model

2003-01-13 02:51:43

I need to match a variablelist containing:

   1. An optional title element,
   2. after this, one or more varlistentry elements.

   <t:template match="variablelist[...]">
                                   ^^^
How to write

   title?, varlistentry+

in XPath?

I think I'm missing something obvious. If it's very simple, then I'm 
happy :)

Else I think it would be great to have something like content-model():

   <t:template
    match="variablelist[content-model(title?,varlistentry+)]">

Since the title is optional, it can't be relied on.
try match="variablelist[varlistentry]"

I.e. match on the element if and only if it has a varlistentry as a child.
The number of children is not of interest, nor the fact that it may
also have a title as a child.
