Hello,
I am going through the 'Java and XSLT' book and I ran into a chapter about
Xpath:
I have been seeing a lot fo examples that use what I believe are predicates:
eg:
<xsl:apply-templates
select="presidents/president/name[child::first='John']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="presidents/president[count(vicePresident) = 0]/name"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="presidents/president[position() =
3]/name"/>
etc.
I thought I would be smart to figure out what predicates are available and
surfed over to the w3.org web site. Then went to link 6.2 Expressions:
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-xslt-19990421#NT-Predicate
But I do not see any of the above predicates?
I would like to know what I can use there, but do not understand possibly all
the different ones:
Also, in the above example: child::first='John'
How could I find John if the name was lower case john?
Eg: I would like to find John or john or JOHN or JOhn.
If there is a better site to refer to please include:
Sincerely
Scott
