Hi,
This is a pure XSLT/Xpath related question...
Nothing to do with FOP. For such questions, you should ask on the right
list.
That said, IMHO you should select a nodeset using actual index position
(count(preceding::*) does the trick)
To find the last node that is a boudary should be done with following
expression:
preceding::ver...@part != 'beginning'][1]
Note that if you put your nodeset in a xsl:variable, you can have some
troubles.
Xalan (see [1]) or MSXML (see [2]) provide extended function for that
purpose.

Hello,
In a piece of theater, I have some verses that are split between different
roles.
All verses without a part attribute are complete verses.
<role name='...'>
<verse>...</verse>
<verse>...</verse>
...
</role>
The other are tagged on the following model:
<role name='...'>
...
<verse>...</verse>
<verse part="beginning">...</verse>
</role>
<role name='...'>
<verse part="continuation">...</verse>
</role>
<role name='...'>
<verse part="continuation">...</verse>
</role>
<role name='...'>
<verse part="end">...</verse>
<verse>...</verse>
...
</role>
I need to know if a continuation is the only one between beginning and end,
the first or the second of two, the first, second or third of three, and so
on.
<xsl:value-of select="count(preceding::ver...@part != 'beginning']) "/> gives
me the count of all preceding verses with part attribute other
than "beginning" from the beginning of the piece, what is not what I want.
I wish to have the count of preceding parts of verse from the last beginning
part.
Could someone help me?
Thanks in advance,
Ph. Faehndrich
