I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm staring at this and can't see why it isn't working. I have XML like this: <e eid="e19"><hg><hw>a</hw><hom>1</hom> <vg><var>an</var> before a vowel sound</vg><infg><inf>a</inf><inf>an</inf></infg></hg><sg><se1><pos>determiner</pos> <b>1.</b> used when mentioning someone or something for the first time; the indefinite article. <b>2.</b> one single: <i>a hundred.</i> <b>3.</b> someone like (the name specified). <b>4.</b> per: <i>typing 60 words a minute.</i></se1> <etym>Old English.</etym></sg></e> The template in question looks like this: <xsl:template match="etym"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="../sg"> <br /><span class="etym">ORIGIN:</span>&#xA0;<xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <tei-ms:etym> <xsl:text>[</xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates /> <xsl:text>] </xsl:text> </tei-ms:etym> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> I want the "Old English" from the XML to trigger the first condition because its immediate parent is <sg> -- I have other cases where <etym> is further down in the hierarchy, and for those, I want the square brackets instead. But every time I'm getting the square brackets (the "otherwise" condition) instead. Am I wrong that "../sg" should be true if the immediate parent of the context node is <sg>? What am I missing?
