Question

I’m currently at work on an XSL stylesheet for transforming a finding aid to html. The following line selects any instance of a head tag and lists it in my table of contents.

<xsl:for-each select="c01 | *[head]">

Say there’s ONE head I’d like it not to select. Is that possible?

Thanks!

As per comments:

There’s one element with a head tag that I’d like it not to affect. So while admininfo/head might show up, I’d like controlaccess/head not to.

This is an XPath question. Use:

"*[head and not(self::controlaccess)]"

This XPath will select all elements in the context except controlaccess and having at least an head child tag.

Your final for each but ONE:

<xsl:for-each select="c01 | *[head and not(self::controlaccess)]">
