Re: [xsl] Output conditional on preceding nodes.

[David Carlisle <davidc at nag dot co dot uk>]

<xsl:template match="h1[. = 'foo']">
	<xsl:if test="./following::p[3]">
		<xsl:copy-of select="./following::p[3]"/>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

You don't need the xsl:if there, it isn't doing anything useful
the above is equivalent to


<xsl:template match="h1[. = 'foo']">
		<xsl:copy-of select="following::p[3]"/>
</xsl:template>

If you want everything except that then you want all nodes except p
and all p except the third in which case that's


<xsl:template match="h1[. = 'foo']">
 <xsl:copy-of select="following::node()[not(self::p)]|p[position()!=3]"/>
</xsl:template>
