Use:
ancestor-or-self::youth:section[last()]/youth:folder
To learn XPath by just having fun I'm usually recommending the XPath
Visualizer :o)

I've been searching on this and I can't find an example that helps. I
find the generic examples but I don't get something that does what I want.
My data is structured so that only the top level of the tree has the
folder for the url. but I want to include that folder in the url for all
of the files (including itself). Based on stuff I've read I thought that
would be "ancestor-or-self::section[last()]/folder," but that gives me
nothing. (full xsl below)
I tried using youth:ancestor-or-self::section[last()]/folder, but that
gives me a validation error.
The data is here: http://rafb.net/paste/results/dyNo4Q36.html for reference
Am I completely misunderstanding ancestor? And in general, how does one
debug this kind of thing?
Thanks again
