I need to find out if a block element that I process is the first one
with
respect to its ancester S1, S2 or S3 elements. The hierarchy looks
something
like this:
test=". = ancestor::S3//block[1] or . = ancestor::S2//block[1] or .
= ancestor::S1//block[1]"
But this slows down processing enormously.
Hi,
It could be (I'm not sure) that the 'xsl:number' element is faster than
XPath.
If that's the case, then you might use this:
<xsl:variable name="cnt">
<xsl:number count="block" from="*[starts-with(local-name(),'S')]"
level="any"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="self::block and $cnt='1'">
<xsl:attribute name="hit">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
regards,
