Hi All!

I want to know if a node is followed by some particular nodes or if it's the last node of the set. So I've tried:

<xsl:if test="following-sibling::table | following-sibling:list | self::node()[position()=last()]">

I've had to use "self::node()[position()=last()]" instead of simply "position()=last()" because this last comparison doesn't return a DOM node (wich seems to enter in conflict with the previous comparisons)... but it doesn't work! "self::node()[position()=last()]" always returns the current node, doesn't matter if it's the last or not. I've an alternative solution, but I'd like to know why this particular expresion doesn't work! (...despite of curiosity killed the cat...)

Thanx a lot!
