Hi there,
I am trying to select preceding-sibling::row[1] or
preceding-sibling::row[2] in the following example. Of course '1' or
'2' are hardcoded, and instead I need to express instead " where
entry/@morerows != '' "
Here is my Input.xml:
<informaltable frame="all">
<tgroup cols="3.782608695652174"><tbody><row>
<entry morerows="2">
<para>Study</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>General Study</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>C.7.2.1</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>M</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>
<para>Patient Study</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>C.7.2.2</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>U</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>
<para>Clinical Trial Study</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>C.7.2.3</para>
</entry>
<entry>
<para>U</para>
</entry>
</row></tbody></tgroup>
</informaltable>
My current xsl script is:
<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:message>
<xsl:if test="count(entry) = 3">
<xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::row[entry/@morerows != '' ]"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>
Thanks for suggestions,
entry/@morerows != ''
as a general rule never use != if either operand is a sequence (or a
simpler rule, never use != at all) There are times when you want to
break this rule but they are rather infrequent. The semantics of
not(entry/@morerows = '') are far simpler (and far more frequently
desired) than those of entry/@morerows != ''
I'm not at all clear what your requirement is, if you want the nearest
row that doesn't have an entry with a morerows attribute then that would be
preceding-sibling::row[not(entry/@morerows)][1]
