How do I test if the very last character of any preceding text - be it
in a parent or a sibling - has a certain value?
Example:
<a>
This is parent text a not ending with an x.
<d>This ends with an x</d>
<e>This should issue a message.</e>
This is parent text ending with an x
</a>
Now I want to know for each child element is if it is preceded by an
"x".
I can check the sibling with
<xsl:if test="matches(preceding-sibling::*[1]/text()[last()],'x\$') ">
<xsl:message>
Element <xsl:value-of select="name()"/> is preceded by an x.
</xsl:message>
</xsl:if>
But I cannot test the surrounding parent content with the same model
because the parent text may surround the child text.
What's the way to do it?
