Hi, With a sequence of variable declarations: <xsl:variable name="name" select="name()"/> <xsl:variable name="followers" select="following-sibling::*[name()=$name]"/> <xsl:variable name="interlopers" select="following-sibling::*[not(name()=$name)] | following-sibling::*[not(name()=$name)]/following-sibling::*"/> <xsl:variable name="invited" select=". | $followers[not(count(.|$interlopers)=count($interlopers))]"/> Note: untested. Good luck, Wendell On Wed, Feb 17, 2021 at 8:32 PM Wolfhart Totschnig wolfhart.totschnig@xxxxxxxxxxx <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear list, > > I am facing an XPath problem for which I cannot find the solution.
