Hi,
I'm trying to change our stylesheets over to 2.0 and saxon 8, but am
getting confused about the behaviour of the last() function.
My test case is below, it has a variable called $languages, with many
<lang> elements.
I wanted to get the 3 distinct languages from there.
If I comment out the last() function, it works as I expect, but when I add
the last() function inside the for-each loop I get it returning '2', and
only get 1 iteration from the loop.
I expect the last() function to return 3.
Any suggestions/hints would be welcome
thanks,
Jurn
