I had to go back and look at how I did this result in a previous
project. The best way to do this is put a newline before each chapter
except the first. This is much easier to understand too as more closely
states your intention.
<xsl:template match="chapter" mode="toc">
<xsl:if test="position() != 1">
<xsl:attribute name="margin-top">1em</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] TOC despair
This shouldn't be hard, but I can't get it right. I'll try to give
enough
info. The XML structure looks something like this:
<book>
<chapter>
<section>
<section/>
</section>
</chapter>
</book>
One section may contain other sections an so on. The problem is in the
TOC
generation, where I want a little space after each chapter, like so:
Chapter 1: Elephants....................2 <-- chapter
African Elephants.......................2 <-- chapter/section
Serengeti.............................3 <-- chapter/section/section
Indian Elephants........................4 <-- chapter/section
<-- space here, please
Chapter 2: Tigers.......................5
How do I say in XPath "the last section in this chapter"? Here's my try,
that won't work:
<xsl:template match="section" mode="toc">
...
<xsl:if test="count(following::section) = 0">
<xsl:attribute name="margin-bottom">1em</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
...
</xsl:template>
Thanks,
Gustaf
