I am a little unsure of what you are trying to do and your xml
sample is not well formed but here goes;
This template will produce the result you are after;
<xsl:template match="m">
Attribute a of the following m is: <xsl:value-of
select="following::m/@a"/>
</xsl:template>
The 'following-sibling' axes will only match nodes of the same depth
of the xml document.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi,
Here's a tree wich is a part of my xml document:
<b>
<m a="attribute">
text text text
<t>
<r>
<d>more text</d>
<r/>
</t>
</m>
<t>
<r>
<d/>
<d><m a="attribute">text</m></d>
<r/>
</t>
<m/>
text
</b>
what I want to do is to evaluate only the
contents of the "m" elements. For each "m"
element I also need to output the next "m"'s
"a" atribute.
Everything else should be ignored.
In the stylesheet that I use I'm applying the
respective templates like this:
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="b//m"/>
...
using the following template to apply
templates to all descendants of the
current "m" node and to get the next "m"'s
"a" atribute:
<xsl:template match="m">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
Atribute a of the following m is:
<xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::*[parent::b]/following-sibling::node()//m/@a"/>
</xsl:template>
but getting the next "m"'s "a" atribute is
not working as I expected...
Any idea on what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Filipe
