Question

I have some XSLT which is used to select text which has a particular keyword <sliceXML> This works fine and grabs each paragraph in turn. I also want to select the contents of the page tag <pg> and display it.

However it keeps selecting the value of the first <pg> tag and does not move onto the next. Any help is much appreciated.

My XML

<para>
    <sliceXML>telescope</sliceXML>
    A telescope test can be used to observe the night sky. What
    observations can you make about the universe from your own back yard?
    <pg>Page: 77</pg>
 </para>

 <para>
    <sliceXML>telescope</sliceXML>
    The scientists using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope can
    gather far more information than they can review quickly. Humans are
    better at galaxy identification than computers. Why might this be a
    difficult task for computers?
    <pg>Page 78</pg>
 </para>

NOTE: Page 77 and Page 78

My XSLT

<xsl:template name="para">
    <div id="para">
        <xsl:copy-of select="text()"/>
    <span class="pagetag">
        <xsl:value-of select="//pg"/><img src="images/arrows.png" height="12px"/>
    </span>
    </div>
</xsl:template>

Answer 1

Maybe you should try pg instead of //pg? Because you want the pg that is a child of your para.
