Hi, Nadia,
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="design.consideration">
<result>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="generate-id(../processing-instruction('xm-insertion_mark_start')/following-sibling::*[1])
= generate-id()">
<xsl:text>yes</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>no</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</result>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I tested that with (with Saxon 8.6.1) on the following test files:
<x>
<?xm-insertion_mark_start author="Nadia Swaby"
time="20051202T111856-0500"?>
<test/>
<design.consideration></design.consideration>
</x>
(which produced "no")
and
<x>
<?xm-insertion_mark_start author="Nadia Swaby"
time="20051202T111856-0500"?>
<design.consideration></design.consideration>
<test/>
</x>
(which produced "yes")

Subject
[xsl] How to find out if the preceding sibling is a PI
Hi all,
I have a document that looks something like this:
<?xm-insertion_mark_start author="Nadia Swaby"
time="20051202T111856-0500"?>
<design.consideration></design.consideration>
I need to do a test to find out if the sibling immediately preceding the
design.consideration element is an xm-insertion_mark_start PI.
Basically, I need something like
preceding-sibling::*[position() = 1 and
processing-instruction('xm-insertion_mark_start')]
but that statement doesn't return anything.
Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks
Nadia
