Your problem is a FAQ. Maybe this could help clear things up:

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.
