RE: Testing node immediately following in mixed content

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
