Re: ancestor

  Try this:

  select="//inlineequation[not (ancestor::* = table)]"

  The single quotation marks ('') make the XSL processor look for a string 
  literal, when you want it to look for an element.


true but ancestor::* = table makes it test the string value of every
ancestor with the string value of its table child, which isn't what was
wanted.
