RE: [xsl] Trying to find following sibling that ends in punctuation

You haven't shown the function

f:f_StringEndsWith($p_Node)

You would get infinite recursion if this function always returns the value
"noPunct" when its argument is an empty sequence.

Just a theory.

Subject: [xsl] Trying to find following sibling that ends in 
punctuation

Using XSLT 2, XPath 2, and Saxon8

I'm trying to get the count(of preceding::*) of a following 
sibling node that ends with some sort of punctuation, and 
throw this value into a variable.

I've created a recurisive template

    <xsl:template name="ct_PositionOfNodeThatEndsWithPunct">

        <!-- set a default value for p_Node -->
        <xsl:param name="p_Node" 
select="following-sibling::*[self::P][1]" />

        <!-- test what the element ends with -->      
        <xsl:variable name="l_EndsWith" 
select="f:f_StringEndsWith($p_Node)" />

        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="$l_EndsWith = 'noPunct'">
                <xsl:call-template
name="ct_PositionOfNodeThatEndsWithPunct">
                    <xsl:with-param name="p_Node" 
select="following-sibling::*[self::P][1]" />
                </xsl:call-template>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of 
select="count(preceding::*) + 1" /></xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>

    </xsl:template>

Now  I was hoping that because called templates are context 
sensitive I can keep on just doing 
"select="following-sibling::*[self::P][1]" as I've done to 
give p_Node a new value to iterate through. I keep on getting 
out of memory error. Memory is not an issue as from my past 
experiences when I get this error when I introduce a 
recursive template usually means I've given the recursion no 
way out. But I can't see why this is happening.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mario
