Thanks for the help Michael. It was the whitespace-only nodes that were
causing the problem. I couldn't get your xPath below to work, so I changed
my attack:
preceding-sibling::node()[1][self:xref]
Combined with
<xsl:strip-space elements="para"/>
Did the trick.
Thanks again!

The following-sibling::node() after your xref is a whitespace-only text
node. You need something like
following-sibling::node()[not (self::text() and
normalize-space(.)][1][self::xref]
And if you think it's late on a Friday, it's early on Saturday here.

Subject: [xsl] Testing node immediately following in mixed content
Hi all,
It may be that it is late Friday, but for the life of me, I
cannot seem to
get the following template to output a comma when the node immediately
following the context node is a certain type. Maybe my XPath
is wrong?
I basically want to split "back-to-back" xref's with a comma
(simulating
multiple footnote references). My output is HTML.
Sample xml (that needs comma seperation):
<para>Some filler text
<xref linkend="burnc01-note-0001"/>
<xref linkend="burnc01-note-0002"/>
completing the paragraph.</para>
Sample xml (that doesn't need a comma added)
<para>Some filler text
<xref linkend="burnc02-note-0006"/>
some more filler text
<xref linkend="burnc02-note-0007"/>
</para>
Stylesheet snippet:
<xsl:template match="para">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="xref">
<a href="{concat('#',@linkend)}"><sup><xsl:value-of
select="number(substring-after(@linkend,'note-'))"/></sup></a>
<xsl:if test="name(following-sibling::node()[1]) = 'xref'">
<sup>,</sup>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
XmlSpy's xPath evaluator tells me that this is sound logic,
but using Saxon,
I can't get the comma in the output.
Thanks,
Ryan
