RE:  not getting expected matches
At 02:48 PM 9/16/2004, I wrote:
       <xsl:template match="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'ELE')]">
                <xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text>*</xsl:text>
                <!-- put a line break after last 'ELE' element -->
                <xsl:if test="">
                        <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
                </xsl:if>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

but I don't know how to format the xsl:if test to check to see if this ELE tag is the last ELE tag under the SEG tag...how would I do that?

<xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::rm:ELE)">...</xsl:if>

... and then realize they're not plain ELE elements, but ELExxx.


That's a bit trickier:

test="not(following-sibling::*[starts-with(local-name(), 'ELE')])"

... yet another reason why it's so much nicer to have

<ELE n="xxx">

than

<ELExxx>

(Personally I can't abide name-munging and name tests, avoiding them wherever possible: the language should be doing them for me.)

Cheers,
Wendell
