I want to create a global variable that contains the result tree
fragment contained within element <c>, with the following restrictions:
I only want to include the first <y> element that is contained within
<c>, no matter where it occurs. There may be no <y> elements present.
I want to exclude all <z> elements that are contained within <c>, no
matter where they occur. Again, there may be none present.
I have tried many variations on the select portion of the variable
definition. I can filter the immediate children of <c>, OR the second
level children, etc., but I can't seem to come up with anything that
handles <y> and <z> appearing at any depth in the descendant tree.
Some things I have tried:
<xsl:variable name="set" select="/a/b/c/*[((name() != 'y') and (name()
!= 'z'))] | /a/b/c//y[1]" />
<xsl:variable name="set" select="/a/b/c/descendant::*[((name() != 'y')
and (name() != 'z'))] | /a/b/c//y[1]" />
Then I tried to just exclude <z> at any level:
<xsl:variable name="set" select="/a/b/c/descendant::*[not(self::z)]" />
but that only excludes <z> elements that are children of <c>.
I'm using xsltproc, built with libxml 2.6.19 and libxslt 1.1.14
