Re: [xsl] first occurance of node with hierarchy

[Wendell Piez <wapiez at mulberrytech dot com>]

Andrew,

How about

match="para[not(preceding-sibling::para |
                 parent::specpara[preceding-sibling::para |
                                  preceding-sibling::specpara/para])]"

and
<xsl:number count="*[starts-with(local-name(), 'step')]" level="multiple"/>

Any closer?

Cheers,
Wendell
