Re: another placement of nodes question

Hi Martin:

Thank you for your input.The issue I am having here is when I use
level2/item[last()], the processor considers both item elements under
<level2> as last ones. So I still get repeated <spec> elements under
both item elements.
How do I get the position of <item> relative to its preceding and
following <item> siblings?
