[ ] indicates a predicate in the kindof XPath expression that evaluates to a node-set, or the subset of such expressions called an XSLT pattern (match pattern). A predicate refines the selection of nodes that have been identified by whatever is to the left of it to only those nodes for which the test in the predicate is true. ( ) can be either a simple grouping operator, as in arithmetic, or part of the syntax of an XPath or XSLT function like not() or translate(). - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | resume: http://skew.org/~mike/resume/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
