Hi Andrew,

Try this one:

//para
   [generate-id() 
  = generate-id(ancestor::*
                 [starts-with(name(), 'step')][1]
                                         /descendant::para[1]
                )
   ]


Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.

Thanks Dimitre,

Is it poissble to rewrite the xpath from the <para>'s point of view. 
For
example:


<xsl:template match="step1|step2">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="specpara/para">
  <if test="this is the first occurance">
  .....
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="para">
  <if test="this is the first occurance">
  .....
</xsl:template>


Based on this xml

<step1>
  <para>here</para>
  <step2>
    <specpara>
      <para>here</para>
    </specpara>
    <para>not here</para>
  </step2>
  <para>not here</para>
</step1>

Hi Andrew,

The following XPath expression returns the "para" elements you need:

//*[starts-with(name(), 'step')]/descendant::para[1]

I need to output a number for the first occurance of node <para> within
any
<step>. For example:

<step1>
  <para>here</para>
  <step2>
    <specpara>
      <para>here</para>
    </specpara>
    <para>not here</para>
  </step2>
  <para>not here</para>
</step1>

<para>'s appear either as a child of stepx or within <specpara>'s
within the
step.  I need to find the first occurance of <para> within each step.

cheers
andrew
