Hi,
Your snippet says: "any time you see a record, copy it to
output including
descendents. Add an element stop and set its value to the value of the
preceding record/start element.". Right?
Yes, the first record in reverse document order.
But it won't do that.
What do you get, then? Which processor do you use? You don't get the results
you specified in you original email with the source provided and with those two
templates only?
And I do not know where to start and how to debug this.
However, the missing point in my thought was "preceding::record[1]" or
"../preceding-sibling::record[1]" in order to reference the preceding
record.
Oh yes, you should use
preceding-sibling::record[1]/start
but in your case it shouldn't matter which you use. You don't want to use the
parent axis (..) in the expression, because then you'd end up in the base
element.
