Re: First element of type, in same context

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

   Is there an XPath that will allow me to 
   output/flag the first occurance of an element
   within a document, during a for-each loop?

   Thanks in advance,

If your for-each is selecting all the relevant nodes then you can just
do test="position()=1" otherwise if the for-each is selecting a subset
of the nodes and you just want to check that there is no earlier node of
this type then you can do
test="not(preceding::xxx)"

But without more information its hard to say exactly what construct you
want.
