Ruud,

At 09:54 AM 8/6/2008, you wrote:

Next, I process the first text node. Then I try to select everything after that text node with

<xsl:apply-templates select="$this/text()[1]/following-sibling::*" mode="li"/>

But it appears that the select only selects the b-element.

Yes

My questions are: - what do I misunderstand and (isn't the following text a sibling then?)

The wildcard "*" selects only elements when used on the following-sibling axis.

- what can I do to select everything that comes after the first textnode?

If you want to select all nodes on that axis, including text nodes, comments and processing instructions as well as elements, that would be

$this/text()[1]/following-sibling::node()

Cheers,
Wendell
