Hi, XQueriers:

    I am wondering if any on the list could give me hints on how to extract the <pb> node. I have made attempts of usinng


<my>
    <myHeader>
        <fileDesc>
            <titleStmt>
                <title>My Collection</title>
            </titleStmt>
            <sourceDesc>
                <biblFull>
                    <seriesStmt>
                        <title level="journal">My Journal</title>
                        <idno type="volume"> 1 </idno>
                        <idno type="issue"> 1 </idno>
                    </seriesStmt>
                </biblFull>
            </sourceDesc>
        </fileDesc>
    </myHeader>
    <text>

           <pb n="1" xml:id="my000108"/>
            <pb n="2" xml:id="my000110"/>
               <div>

                </ad>
            </div>
                  <pb n="3" xml:id="my000112"/>
        </body>
    </text>
</my>

My XQuery:

let $ad := fn:collection("xmldb:exist://db/my")
let $journal := $ad//seriesStmt/title[@level='journal'][1]
let $ad2 := $ad//ad/head[contains(upper-case(.), 'STAMPS')]
let $sorted_result:=
for $doc in distinct-values($ad2)
order by $doc
return $doc
for $r at $count in $sorted_result
let $nodes := $ad2[. = $r][1]
let $para := $nodes/parent::p[1]
let $head := $nodes/ancestor::ad//head[1]
let $note := $nodes/ancestor::ad//note[1]
let $seriesStmt:=$nodes/ancestor::my//seriesStmt
let $pb := $nodes/ancestor:my//pb[descendant::ad/head[contains(upper-case(.), 'MUSCLES')]]
return
<ad>
<statistics>
Showing Result: {$count} / {count($sorted_result)}
</statistics>
<source>
<journal>{data($journal)[1]}</journal>
<publication_information>Volume {data($seriesStmt/idno[@type='volume'][1])},
Issue {data($seriesStmt/idno[@type='issue'][1])}</publication_information>
</source>
{$head}
{$nodes}
<description>{$para}</description>
<information>Source from page {$pb}</information>
{$note}</ad>

This brings this:

<ad>
<statistics> Showing Result: 1 / 1</statistics>
<source>
<journal>My Collection</journal>
<publication_information>Volume 1 , Issue 1 </publication_information>
</source>
<head type ="main">FREE POWERFUL MUSCLES FAST</head>
<head type ="main">FREE POWERFUL MUSCLES FAST</head>
<description/>
<information>Source from page </information>
<note>Dept. P</note>
</ad>

If I do

let $pb := $nodes/ancestor::my//pb

The <information> gives me
<information>Source from page
        <pb n="1" xml:id="my000108"/>
        <pb n="2" xml:id="my000110"/>
     <pb n="3" xml:id="my000112"/>
 </information>

This is also the same when I do let $pb := $nodes/ancestor::ad/following-sibling::pb[1]

Intended Output:

<ad>
<statistics> Showing Result: 1 / 1</statistics>
<source>
<journal>My Collection</journal>
<publication_information>Volume 1 , Issue 1 </publication_information>
</source>
<head type ="main">FREE POWERFUL MUSCLES FAST</head>
<head type ="main">FREE POWERFUL MUSCLES FAST</head>
<description/>
<information>Source from page  <pb n="2" xml:id="my000110"/></information>
<note>Dept. P</note>
</ad>

Can anyone please help me figure this out?
Any help is appreciated.
