xslt and xpath: match preceding comments
- by miasbeck
given this xml:
<root>
<list>
<!-- foo's comment -->
<item name="foo" />
<item name="bar" />
<!-- another foo's comment -->
<item name="another foo" />
</list>
</root>
I'd like to use a XPath to select all item-nodes that have a comment immediately preceding them, that is I like to select the "foo" and "another foo" items, but not the "bar" item.
I already fiddled about the preceding-sibling axis and the comment() function but to no avail.
