Hmm, I don't think that will quite work, because the extra newline needs
to occur after the very last child section occurring in document-order
(ie, the most deeply nested one). I think you're best bet would be
<xsl:if test=". = ancestor::chapter[1]//section[position()=last()]">
<br/>
</xsl:if>
This wont necessarily give you the best performance, but should do the
trick for the general case.
If you need better performance, and I cringe whenever I see the ancestor
axis followed by // operator like this, I would use apply-templates to
each section. You can then recursively pass a parameter indicating
whether the section is the last child. This also lets you specify
indenting patterns with a bit more precision.

How about test="position() = last()" in the "section" template? You
might
also need to test whether the parent is a chapter instead of another
section.

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
