RE: Extract First node

Hi Mike,

      I came up with this syntax as I wasn't aware of the brace usage in
<xsl:value-of select="(b/c[@type='pdf'])[1]" /> which is probably more
concise. But nesting of '[' is allowed and I have seen David C use it
earlier. As for how it works, it selects the first b child having a c child
with an attribute type='pdf' and then selects the text of the c child which
is what the OP wanted.

cheers,

 <xsl:value-of select="b[c[@type='pdf']][1]/c/text()"/>

Can you explain how b[c[@type='pdf']]work?  I'm not familiar with that.
Is it v2.0 syntax?
