Sherwood,

Sorry, my mistake.

Try preceding-sibling::element (or preceding-sibling::*) to avoid the white space issue.

Larry,

Thanks for the suggestion. But it does not work if white spaces exist
between <note> and <para> such 
As

<note>       


   <para>
...
</para></note>

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-template
s 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.
