RE: Determine last element before applu-templates

2005-01-23 09:41:57
Should I use a sort in 'apply-templates' to be sure that the last 
element is THE last element?

last() (in XPath 1.0 terminology) returns the number of nodes in the context
node set. This is the same regardless how the node-set is sorted. More
importantly, position() selects of position of the context node in "order of
processing": so whether the nodes are sorted or not, position()=last() is
true only for the input node corresponding to the last node in the output.

I've an attribute in 'document' called 'bloknummer'. The problem with 
sort is that I get a alpha numeric sort; 1,10,11,2,34

Hi,

Maybe you can use:
<xsl:if test="position()=last()">
    <xsl:text>Something specific for last element</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
