I'm trying to determine which of the three <label> elements is the longest,
so my desired output is: 14, which is the string length of
list/defitem/label[2]. The calculation needs to be made while <list> is the
context node. I've tried two different approaches:
<xsl:template match="list">
<xsl:variable name="max-lable-length"
select="max(defitem/label/string-length(.))" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:variable name="longest-label"
select="defitem/label[string-length(.) = $max-label-length]"
as="element(label)+"/>
That's assuming there is always guaranteed to be a defitem/label, if
not then you would need to adjust the cardinalities to cope with not
finding anything.
