I've made various attempts to be more specific in the XPath and nothing works. I've tried the following:
<cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; src="http://localhost/something.xml"; select="//*[local-name()='paragraph[2]']/."/> <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; src="http://localhost/something.xml"; select="//*[local-name()='page']/paragraph[2]"/> <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; src="http://localhost/something.xml"; select="//*[local-name()='page']/paragraph[2]/."/> <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; src="http://localhost/something.xml"; select="//*[local-name()='page/paragraph[2]']/."/> <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; src="http://localhost/something.xml"; select="//*[local-name()='page']/paragraph/[2]"/> -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Hermann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: include specific element with cinclude Schultz, Gary - COMM schrieb: Hello, > I have cinclude working so that I can get all of the specific > elements from an XML file.

You need to be more precise in your xpath expression: //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'ABC123'] chooses all paragraphs with an attribute var that equals 'ABC123'. paragraph[1] chooses the first occurence of paragraph.
