Re: Counting number of characters of sibling text node


Filipe,

But if you do

<xsl:variable name="this-and-preceding-siblings">
   <xsl:copy-of select=".|preceding-sibling::node()"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="string-length($this-and-preceding-siblings)"/>

you may get better results.

Cheers,
Wendell
