Re: [xsl] Template matching preceding-sibling.

Oh. I think I see what you mean.

I'm basically just trying to match unique Rec/activity's.

You follow? How could I select these?

Your template matches both <Rec> elements, so you get two instances of 
"Ello xslers." in your output.

Your template matches and <Rec> element with an <activity> child element 
that doesn't have preceding-sibling <Rec>. Since both <Rec> elements have 
<activity> child elements, and since none of the <activity> elements has a 
preceding-sibling of ANY kind, you are matching both <Rec>s.

Subject:  [xsl] Template matching preceding-sibling.

I'm missing something fundamental, what is it?

<xsl:template match="Rec[activity != preceding-sibling::Rec/activity
or not(preceding-sibling::Rec)]">
  Ello xslers.
</xsl:template>

<xml>
   <Rec>
     <activity>hi</activity>
   </Rec>
   <Rec>
      <activity>hi</activity>
   </Rec>
</xml>

Above should only print anything once, but I'm getting it each time.
What am I not getting?
