RE: access preceding record

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.
