Hi All,
Been away wrapping up a book that I'm formatting with the XSLT code
that I developed with much help from this list. Alas, there's still
work to be done there.
How do I get this position() function to apply only to only certain nodes?
Here's my expression:
<xsl:when test="$contributor-role='primary' and position() = last()"/>
This is OK syntactically. Of course, position() has only meaning for
the context item in the current context -- what is the current
context is not clear from the above one-line excerpt.
I know why the above doesn't work, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Am
using XSLT 2.0.
What does "doesn't work" means?
The (global) contributor-role variable is:
<xsl:variable name="primary-contributors" select="('author', 'editor',
'creator', 'reporter')"/>
Sorry, but this variable is named "primary-contributors", not
"contributor-role".
Source example would be:
<name type="personal">
<namePart type="given">Jane</namePart>
<namePart type="family">Doe</namePart>
<role>
<roleTerm>translator</roleTerm>
</role>
</name>
<name type="personal">
<namePart type="given">Jane</namePart>
<namePart type="family">Doe</namePart>
<role>
<roleTerm>author</roleTerm>
</role>
</name>
<name type="personal">
<namePart type="given">John</namePart>
<namePart type="family">Smith</namePart>
<role>
<roleTerm>translator</roleTerm>
</role>
</name>
The position of the second name element with the author role should be
'1' and it should be 'true' for last(). In other words, processing
should completely ignore the name elements that contain roles other
than those that are "primary."
Not clear. Could you, please, define more precisely?
Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
