Actually, I think there are a couple more pitfalls as well. Because if your
section orders were reveresed in your example, if African Elephants came after
Indian Elephants, then you'd end up with a break before Serengeti.
So to add my input:
<xsl:template match="chapter/section">
<
<xsl:if test="position() = last() and not(child::section)">
and then call the
christopher hearns, Esq.
let me touch your perfect body with my mind

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
