Hm. Well, we're getting into territory that may be as cumbersome as your initial pattern, but here's my last shot: entry[ancestor::table and not(preceding::entry[ancestor::table])]/*[self::title or self::para][1] I don't know if the preceding axis is allowed in patterns, but if it is, this may be a sure-fire way to get the very first entry[ancestor::table]. ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Christian Roth [mailto:roth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 8:52 PM To: XSL List Subject: Re: Pattern question: first child of first descendant >But predicates aren't, so how about this: > >entry[ancestor::table][1]/*[self::title or self::para][1] Unfortunately not - it has the same issue as Syd's initial pattern. The first part does a "match all entry elements that have a table ancestor and that are the first child of some element", which again matches all first entry children of all the row elements in the table. -Christian
