RE: Test condition to check if the current node is the first child

You might try testing for there being no preceding sibling:

   preceding-sibling::node() = ''

I am customizing <para> and need to write test condition to check if its parent has tag of <note> and this <para> is the first child of <note>

 

    <xsl:if test="parent::note ">

                                <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="admonition.title.properties"><xsl:apply-templates select=".." mode="object.title.markup"/><xsl:text>  </xsl:text></fo:inline>

    </xsl:if>

 

But how to write the second condition: the current <para> is the first child of its parent?

 

Thanx.
