[xsl] why is "(chapter//footnote)[1]" illegal?
Subject: [xsl] why is "(chapter//footnote)[1]" illegal? From: "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 09:08:34 -0400 (EDT) |
boning up on my predicates and patterns, i'm reading kay, p. 443, which states: "(chapter//footnote)[1] is not a valid pattern. (Why not? No good reason, it's just that the spec doesn't allow it." but on p. 408, there is an explanation of the (apparently acceptable) path expression "(chapter/para)[1]". so is it just the difference between using the child axis and the descendant-or-self axis? it's not obvious to me why the first should be illegal while the second is legal. rday XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
