Subject: [xsl] Determining the depth of a node
It seems like this question is answered all the time, buy all my searchs seem
to point me to XQuery and I don't want to use XQuery. In fact, for this purpose
it would be most convenient to use the MSXSL processor, so we are talking XSLT
1.0.
I have captured a node in an element:
<xsl:variable name="max-node" select="descendant::*[name()= 'system' or name()=
'component'][position()=last()]" />
Now I need to know the number of ancestors this node has. What XPath expression
will give me this? Thanks.
