RE: How to test if a node is a descendant of a specifi

Hello
If you want to know if it's in the ancestral tree, use
if test='ancestor::head-row'

or you could test for a specific generational gap:
parent->
if test='../head-row'
grandparent->
if test='../../head-row'

The syntax is the same for the body-row.

I hope that helps

I have an xml file that looks like the following:

<layout>
    <head-row>
        <data>
            <string>
            </string>
        </data>
    </head-row>

 

<xsl:template match="//string">
.......Pseudo code:
<test if the current context node is a descendant of head-row>
    <p class="head-row">some content</p>
</test>

<test if the current context node is a descendant of body-row>
    <p class="body-row">some content</p>
</test>
...........


How can I test this?
