My context node is the <chapter> element. I want to select everything up to
and including the first <section>.
In case this will be needed more than once, then using XSLT 1.0 one can do this:
key('kPreceding', generate-id(/*/section[1])) | /*/section[1]
where the key is defined like this:
<xsl:key name="kPreceding" match="node()"
use="generate-id(following-sibling::section[1])"/>
Note, that a variation of this may be useful in selecting all nodes
that are between any two consecutive <section/> siblings:
<xsl:key name="kBetween" match="node()"
use="concat(generate-id(preceding-sibling::section[1]),
generate-id(following-sibling::section[1]))"/>
and select the nodes with something like this:
key('kBetween', concat(generate-id(/*/section[1]),
generate-id(/*/section[2])))

Hi All,
Here is my xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<chapter>
<title>Title</title>
<intro>
<p>Intro</p>
</intro>
<section></section>
<section></section>
<section></section>
</chapter>
My context node is the <chapter> element. I want to select everything up to
and including the first <section>. I am trying this
//chapter/*[not(self::section[position()>1])]
but it selects all of the children of chapter. In the above example, I am
trying to select all of the children except the last two sections. Thank you
in advance.
