RE: [xsl] reading ascendants except the first one (NEWBIE)

["Andrew Welch" <awelch at piper-group dot com>]

I think he needs the ancestor axis:

<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*[position() > 1]">
    ...
 </xsl:for-each>

This will select all ancestors of the current node, except the very
first.
