Yes, and for the immediately-preceding element it would be:
preceding-sibling::*[1]
Remember that axes are proximity-ordered at the step level, such that counting begins with the closest node and increases as you walk away from the node.
Note that complete paths are always accessed by XSLT in document order, so when you have more than one preceding sibling element you will have a difference between:
preceding-sibling::*[1]
and
(preceding-sibling::*)[1]
returning, respectively, the closest and furthest preceding sibling element.
I hope this helps.

I have a problem, as you can guess. I am struggling to find the element that is just before, and the element just after the current one.
What i am doing now for the element after the current one is : following-sibling::*[position() = 1] And this seems to work.
