If I just copy that XML into Stylus Studio, and fire up the XPath editor, I can
find the text node you're on, and apply the specified test:
//text()[. eq 'Text of a
title'][../preceding-sibling::processing-instruction()/name() eq 'ModuleStart']
So it's the second test (i.e. the second bracketed expression) that you want.
Substitute '=' for 'eq' if you're stuck with XPath 1.0.

Subject: [xsl] Xpath question with processing-instruction()
I know I can do this but I'm stumped.
Please consider the following XML:
<section>
<?ModuleStart ShowIDs="yes"?>
<title>Text of a title</title>
<para>para in the section</para>
</section>
I am current to the text() node of <title/>
I need to test to see if my parent has an immediate preceding sibling of
processing-instruction named "ModuleStart"
If so I need to know the content of that PI.
I need to be sure that the test will NOT be true if I am current with the
text() node of <para/>
Thanks in advance for your help
Steve
