Hi Hussein,

A long time ago you gave me a pointer on how to use the xpath function
within a concatenate function.
(http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2006-June/004234.htm
l ) It's been working fine until my upgrade to 4.5.2. 

Here is a simplified snippet of my working CSS in 3.5.1, with
annotations. (This css styles a map inclusion in a ditamap file.):


*[class~="map/topicref"]:property("INCLUSION_MARK"):before,
*[class~="map/topicref"][otherprops="mapref"]:before {
        content: division(
                        content(
                                paragraph(
                                        " (mapref)",
                                        color, gray,
                                        font-size, 11pt
                                ),
                                division(
                                        content(
                                                maprefPara( 
                                                        /* this
retrieves the @title from the inclusion file */
                                                        concatenate(
        
"xpath(\"",
        
"document('",
        
xpath('property("LOCATION_INFO")'),
        
"',.)/map/@title",
                                                                "\")"
                                                                
                                                        ),
                                                        /* this simply
gets the url of the inclusion file */
        
xpath('property("LOCATION_INFO")')
                                                )
                                        )
                                )
                        );
}


I'm trying to upgrade this code to 4.5.2, unsuccessfully. In this case,
the @title is retrieved, but the url of the inclusion is not returned.
Here's what I'm using:

*[class~="map/topicref"]:property(prop|sourceURL):before,
*[class~="map/topicref"][otherprops="mapref"]:before {
        content: division(
                        content(
                                paragraph(
                                        " (mapref)",
                                        color, gray,
                                        font-size, 11pt
                                ),
                                division(
                                        content(
                                                maprefPara(
                                                        /* this still
works */
                                                        concatenate(
        
"xpath(\"",
        
"document('",
        
xpath('property(prop|sourceURL)'),
        
"',.)/map/@title",
                                                                "\")"
                                                                
                                                        ),
                                                        /* this does not
work */
        
xpath('property(prop|sourceURL)')
                                                )
                                        )
                                )
                        );
}

What am I doing wrong? I've tried being tricky and wrapping the
property() call within a concat() within an outer xpath(), similar to
what's being done with the successful document() call and that doesn't
help.

Thanks,
Mark
