Thanks James, but I have to stick on XML, lmnl seems to have it's own none-XML syntax.

Meanwhile I found a paper about CLIX [1], which had worked out the start/end scenarios in more detail beyond the chapter 'Range ordering with and without co-located endpoints'. Until I found out more about the later mentioned validator build on Saxon, my XSLT related question is this:

Is the best (performant) way to work on the selection the following?

<xsl:variable name="precedingStarts" select="count(preceding::text:start)"/> <xsl:if test="$precedingStarts != 0"> <xsl:variable name="followingEnds" select="count(following::text:end)"/> <xsl:if test="$precedingStarts = $followingEnds">  </xsl:if> </xsl:if>

Is there any possibility to cache this?

I am thankful for any help,
Svante

Imagine XML data, where continuous selection of data - randomly made by
the user - is being marked by using a <start/> and <end/> element.

For example:

<ex:paragraph>
    <ex:START/>
    <ex:span>
        Some text C..
    <ex:span>
</ex:paragraph>
<ex:paragraph>
    Some text D..
    <ex:END/>
    <ex:span>
        Some text F..
    <ex:span>
</ex:paragraph>


The desired nodes would be
    <ex:span>
        Some text C..
    <ex:span>
    Some text D..

Is there an easy way to process this kind of selection with XSLT?

Best regards,
Svante
