I have tried to understand how the preceding-sibling axes functions but without success. I have an xml-file with contents like this: <table> <section gen="1"> <person>John</person> </section> <section gen="2"> <person>Mary</person> </section> <section gen="3"> <person>William</person> </section> </table> Here Mary is Johns mother and William is Marys father. I have as xslt file where I want to connect parent to child like this: <xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' > <xsl:template match="table"> <xsl:apply-templates select="section"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:if test="position()>1"> Parent:<xsl:value-of select="person"/>, child::<xsl:value-of select="self::preceding-sibling/person"/>. </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ================= What am I doing wrong as the result I get is: <?xml version="1.0"?> Parent:Mary, child::. Parent:William, child::. ===================== I have tried to write the expression with the preceding sibling in may ways but never get any values from it. What would be the correct way to use this: regards Kaarle Kaila
