But I don't see why the test I have correctly handles the first
mods:name in a mods:mods element, except if the same names are repeated
in another mods:mods element.
In other words, I want the when test to be satisfied for all
first-authors. So what am I doing wrong?
<xsl:template match="mods:name" mode="full">
...
<xsl:when test="$sort-order='first-author' and position() = 1 and
not(parent::mods:relatedItem)">
<xsl:apply-templates select="mods:namePart[(_at_)type='family'] |
mods:namePart[not(@type)]"/>
<xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates select="mods:namePart[(_at_)type='given']"/>
</xsl:when>
...
</xsl:template>
The (abbreviated) source looks like:
<mods>
<name type="personal">
<namePart type="given">Jane</namePart>
<namePart type="family">Doe</namePart>
</name>
<name type="personal">
<namePart type="given">Steve</namePart>
<namePart type="family">Smith</namePart>
</name>
<mods>
