Thanks for the quick feedback!
<xsl:template match="for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1,
//*[. &-g-t;&-g-t; $T1 and .
&-l-t;&-l-t; $T2])">
<xsl:element name="sect1">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Comes up as an invalid pattern still. ( the &-g-t-; are added for clarity )
Could it be my software? XMLSpy 2006?

You need to escape the << to &-l-t-; &-l-t-; (dashes added for clarity,
remove in code).
You might want to escape >> to &-g-t-; &-g-t-; as well.

Subject: RE: [xsl] Xpath and Ranges
Hello,
The below statement works fine when I run a XQUERY against my XML. It
returns the nodes that I need.
for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and .
<< $T2], $T2)
However, when I plug it into a XSLT template it complains about the >>,<<
characters. I have tried different versions of them but none validate.
<xsl:template match="for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return
($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2)">
<xsl:element name="sect1">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is it possible to use Xpath to select a range of nodes.
<chapter>
<title>X</title>
<para>
<para>
<title>Y</title>
</chapter>
I would like an Xpath statement that would select //title[1]
THROUGH //title[2] and include all nodes between. Is this possible?
I'm assuming that <para> represents <para>....</para>, i.e. a complete
element.
If you know that the nodes are siblings, and you are positioned on their
parent, then you can do
(title[1] , *[. >> title[1] and . << title[2]] , title[2])
If they aren't siblings and you are positioned on the root, then you can do
for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2]
return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2)
That's XPath 2.0; in 1.0 it's more tricky.
