Re: creating nodes from text

me> This is a very odd expression.

you> Maybe. But you haven't said that it is wrong.

well it looks odd but it may be that that was what you wanted to
select. I can't know what you intended to do (unless sit's what you did,
in which case you don't need any help:-)

you> Doesn't  preceding-sibling::* refer to all

you> order 

only preceding siblings so not all nodes, just ones under the same
parent. But that is also the case with the expression you used.

you> Could I use following-sibling::* as well.

yes you can use any axis you like, but as I say only you know which
elements you want to select.

you>        If I do that Iam getting this error: You cannot call an element
you> 'normalize-space(text())'

that would mean that you forgot to use the {} arount the Xpath
expression.

you> 7) The error I mentioned "Attribute '{$attrname}' outside of element"

post a complete (small) input file and a complete (small) stylesheet
say what error you get (in full) and what processor you used.
