Re: Position of parent node

Your question is not sufficiently specific -- "the position of <p> within
<q>" -- but relative to which nodelist??? Will you count only the <p> nodes?
Or maybe you'll count also other siblings of "p" (e.g. text nodes)?

In the two situations above the values for "position" will be different!

I'm assuming that your case is the first and you're counting only the "p"
children of q.

Then the XPath expression that will return the value of the "position" of a
"p" node among its siblings (assuming your current node is a grandchild of a
"p") is:

count(..\..\preceding-sibling::p) + 1

Hope this helped.
