I'm trying to display the value of the previous sibling if it is a comment.
What's wrong with my XPath expression? It won't display anything.
<xsl:for-each select="element">
<xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::comment()]"/>
</xsl:for-each>
I've confirmed that the parser I'm using passes comments to the XSLT
processor (Instant Saxon), as the comment() node test works in other cases,
such as the following:
<xsl:for-each select="comment()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
Thanks,
