Hi, all!
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm staring at this and can't
see why it isn't working.
I have XML like this:
sound</vg><infg><inf>a</inf><inf>an</inf></infg></hg><sg>
>... <etym>Old English.</etym></sg></e>
The template in question looks like this:
<xsl:template match="etym">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="../sg">
...
I want the "Old English" from the XML to trigger the first condition
because its immediate parent is <sg>
Your condition is true if the parent has another *child* element <sg>.
If you want to test whether the parent *is* a <sg> use
test="parent::sg"
