Re: [docbook] Selecting the last para in a CAUTION

[Martin Holmes <mholmes@uvic.ca>]

Hi there,

I suspect this XPath doesn't select anything:

ancestor-or-self::warning/para[position()=last()]

Your warning element doesn't contain any children which are para 
elements. Do I misunderstand, or do you need to do something like this?

ancestor-or-self::warning//para[position()=last()]

Cheers,
Martin
