 Hi Wendell,
That's mostly what I did in this template:
<!-- add <j> to <topic>, honoring the following content model:
topic = a?, b?, c?, j, x?, y?, z?, topic* -->
<xsl:template match="topic[not(j)]" mode="add-j">
<xsl:variable name="stuff-before-j"
select="(a|b|c)/(.|preceding-sibling::node())" as="node()*"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:sequence select="@*|$stuff-before-j"/>
<j/>
<xsl:sequence select="node() except $stuff-before-j"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
The part that was tricky for me at first was figuring out how to handle <a>,
<b>, and <c> being present or absent in any combination. But this seems to
work pretty well!
Hi Eliot (again),
I've been thinking that it would be nice to have some helper
functions/templates to make DITA element insertion easier. For example, if I
want to insert an <othermeta> element into a DITA topic:
<topic>
<title>...</title>
<prolog>
<author type="owner">myeong</author>
<metadata>
<othermeta content="foo" name="bar"/>
</metadata>
<resourceid appid="hile_repeatCopy"/>
</prolog>
<body>...</body>
</topic>
I would want to reuse whatever elements might already exist, or create missing
elements as needed while honoring content models:
topic = title, titlealts?, (shortdesc | abstract)?, prolog?, body?,
related-links?, topic* }
prolog = author*, source?, publisher?, copyright*, critdates?, permissions?,
(metadata | change-historylist)*, resourceid*, (data | sort-as | data-about |
foreign | mathml | svg-container | unknown)*
metadata = audience*, category*, keywords*, prodinfo*, othermeta*, (data |
sort-as | data-about | foreign | mathml | svg-container | unknown)*
If I figure out a nice solution to this, I will let you know.

element's content model
Chris,
How about (.|preceding-sibling::node), as in
$fromhere/(.|preceding-sibling::node()) ?
Also useful for counting, as in count(self::h1|preceding-sibling::h1).
Cheers, Wendell

Hi Eliot,
I hadn't known about these operators, thank you!
I couldn't see a clean way to use "<<" for a preceding-sibling-or-self:: axis
for this specific case, but I will definitely keep these operators in mind for
future DiTA processing tasks.
