Hi all,
I have a situation where I need to filter the results of one XML doc into an
Atom feed; I'm of course using xslt. The underlying XML represents entries
and/or comments in a blog for example, and they want to be able to request the
feed and filter using criteria like "show only the last 10 entries". The
problem is that last ten is ambiguous. There may be only 7 entries for example.
Using dates won't work because I can't know apriori what date would qualify the
last n entries.
I've got to think some of you have done this kind of filtering before and
probably even more robustly. Any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe sorting by
date and then using some node operator to pick off the N I need, I'm sort of
new to XSLT so I'm not sure of the idioms for this kind of operation.
Thanks in advance.
