Re: [xsl] Position() Function Using Filter

I am new to xslt --and could be wrong here-- but the few resources I
have come across all seem to point to the fact that xslt 2.0 is only
supported by a few processors --I only know of SAXON. I am trying to
avoid that limitation. There are cases when I use SAXON though.

Thanks all the the valuable feedback. The count approach suggested by
Andrew& Brandon did the trick :) --count(preceding-sibling::*)
Awesome!

just so you know, I forgot an important detail --I am working with
xslt 1.0 and so "index-of and " and the book[tokenize(., '/')[last()]
eq $bpage] hint wont work.

If you are sure that there will be one and only one "match" then the

index-of(//book, //book[ends-with(., 'ASTRO_00007.JPG')])[1]

On the other hand, the difference between /a/b/c[1] and (/a/b/c)[1] is a
major source of confusion for the newcomer and the "perpetual
intermediate" [1] alike.

Thanks for confusing the perpetual intermediate with a [1] that looks like a
positional predicate but that actually is a citation link. Pun intended?


Sometimes you have to make the computer work a little harder if it means
getting the right answer more often.
