I need to take the following markup: I approached it differently: finding the adjacent groups that are or are not made up entirely of bullets. I have the feeling that I can use the << or >> operators to select all of the bullets until the node name changes in the document order. I don't think so, because they'll look past the first of the groups. However, I can only find very sketchy documentation regarding these constructs and when I try to use them I get syntax errors. Remember you cannot have naked "<" characters in attribute specifications ... you need to escape them. Any suggestions or pointers on where I could look for working examples (not shorthand) of how these constructs can be used or suggestions on a different approach would be very much appreciated. How about a different approach, then ... I hope the code below helps. Note how I am calculating a value for every member of the population being grouped by adjacent equal values, and the value I'm calculating is either true or false for each member. Any value calculated for a member of the population can be used when grouping. . . . . . . .
