RE: determining if one or more instances of a child ar

Hmm.. is that so ?

Because my current node will be <Paragraph> and not <paraitem>.

Also, it can have other elements as children. So I need to have a
specific "test" that checks if that child exists before APPLYING
stylesheets for that child.

<Paragraph>
	<ParaItem>
	<ParaItem>
	<ParaItem>
....
<Paragraph>

Let me know :). Is there a better expression to check if the current
NODE (paragraph) contains ATLEAST one child PARAITEM.

:)

Yes, but the easies way would be just to test with

  <xsl:if test="ParaItem"/>
