RE: Predicates question

I found that already.

Im now trying to solve this one :



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="/bookstore/book[position() &lt; 3 and
/bookstore[position() &gt; 1  ]" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="bookstore/book">
   <h1><xsl:value-of select="title" /></h1>
    <xsl:value-of select="price" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>




But I see now this message :



Invalid XPath expression
Unexpected end of statement
select="/bookstore/book[position() < 5 and /bookstore[position() > 1  ]"



So i try to find the books between the 1 and 5 position of the list.
