A sample of your input would make helping you a good deal easier. Is this what
you're faced with?
<div>
First column<span> <span>Second column<span> </span>
</div>
If not, please give a sample, not a description.

Subject: [xsl] Counting nodes up to a certain sibling
Hi -
I am transforming an input html doc into an xml formatted output stream. The
portion of the document I am now working with has been laid out in html as a
set of columns, but instead of using tables they did it by inserting spaces
enclosed within span tags (aaarrrggghhh!). I am attempting to implement this
simple rule:
for each span tag that includes a space, take all sibling nodes up to the next
span tag and output thes within a single output tag.
The document is structured such that these will only be text nodes or
formatting nodes like <i> or <b> or <sub>. I'm having a hell of a time,
however, figuring out how to create a node set that includes only nodes in
between a current span node and its next sibling span node. I've been trying
to work with the position() function, but in order to identify the next span
node, I have to do it with an axis expression and a filter and then position()
only tells me the position of the node with respect to the filtered set. I
need to identify the position of a node matching my characteristics in an
unfiltered parent node set. Can't seem to figure out how to do it. Is there a
way?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer. If this has been answered before, I
apologize. I've spent an awful lot of time looking for it.
Regards,
Mike
