In your xsl you are testing if the position() of the contrib element is
either = or > 1 however from your example all of the contrib elements
have position() greater than one thus the second xsl:if statement
kicks in.
If you want to check, insert this in your template for contrib:
<position><xsl:sequence select="position()"/></posistion>
Try it to check if the position() function returns a value you assume it
returns.

Dear Jeff I have removed the CR and got the result but I don't think
that this the case. It is working fine with my other XSLTs.
At 02:57 PM 5/22/2007 +0800, you wrote:
The output is correct, you failed to consider the text node inside
the contib-group element. In the contrib-group element there are four
nodes; the CR before the fisrt contrib element, the first contrib
element, the CR before the second contrib element and then the second
contrib element. So when the template matches the contrib elements
the position returned is 2 and 4 respectively. What you want would be:
count(preceding-sibling::contrib) = 0 ---> would return the first
contrib
I hope this helps.

Dear Lists-
Thanks in advance as I get all solutions of my problems by this
lists only. Today I am hang-up in a weired problem as I am not able
