You need to escape the << to &-l-t-; &-l-t-; (dashes added for clarity,
remove in code).
You might want to escape >> to &-g-t-; &-g-t-; as well. -- Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "David White" <davidw@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 1:56 PM Subject: RE: Xpath and Ranges Hello, The below statement works fine when I run a XQUERY against my XML. It returns the nodes that I need. for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2) However, when I plug it into a XSLT template it complains about the >>,<< characters. I have tried different versions of them but none validate. <xsl:template match="for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2)"> <xsl:element name="sect1"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> Any suggestions?

If you know that the nodes are siblings, and you are positioned on their parent, then you can do (title[1] , *[. >> title[1] and . << title[2]] , title[2]) If they aren't siblings and you are positioned on the root, then you can do for $T1 in (//title)[1], $T2 in (//title)[2] return ($T1, //*[. >> $T1 and . << $T2], $T2) That's XPath 2.0; in 1.0 it's more tricky.
