Hi Andrew,
The following XPath expression returns the "para" elements you need:
//*[starts-with(name(), 'step')]/descendant::para[1]
Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.

I need to output a number for the first occurance of node <para> within
any
<step>. For example:
<step1>
<para>here</para>
<step2>
<specpara>
<para>here</para>
</specpara>
<para>not here</para>
</step2>
<para>not here</para>
</step1>
<para>'s appear either as a child of stepx or within <specpara>'s
within the
step. I need to find the first occurance of <para> within each step.
cheers
andrew
