Re:  Diagram of XPath axes
Hi,

A rare slip from Gerrit? who surely means

select="//*[. &lt;&lt; current()]"

although I'd personally go with

select="ancestor::*|preceding::*"

to select all the elements before the current node in document order. :-)

Cheers, Wendell

Just a side note: If you want to select the preceding elements
*including the ancestors*, use the XPath 2 << operator [1], which
selects the nodes that precede the current in document order [2].

In XSLT: select="*[. &lt;&lt; current()]"
