Re: need xpath

Hello Andrew,

the would be the id()-function, but you need to have a DTD than, which sets
your id-attribute to ID:

<xsl:template match="xref">
    <xsl:value-of select="id(@xrefid)/@label"/>
</xsl:template>

The second best method is using keys (possible without DTD):

<xsl:key name="graphics" match="graphic" use="@id"/>

<xsl:template match="xref">
    <xsl:value-of select="key('graphics',@xrefid)/@label"/>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
