I will add it. It was someone else's idea so I didn't want to step on any toes. Thought I'd check first.

This helps greatly. What Geert described needs to be in the wiki. How does one get this added? -----Original Message----- From: Geert Josten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 12:07 PM To: users@cocoon.apache.org Subject: Re: include specific element with cinclude > I've made various attempts to be more specific in the XPath and nothing > works. I've tried the following: > > <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; > src="http://localhost/something.xml"; > select="//*[local-name()='paragraph[2]']/."/> local-name() returns the name of the element without the namespace prefix. You added a predicate test, but added it to the compare string for the local-name(). Move it to _after_ the original close bracket, like: select="//*[local-name()='paragraph'][2]" (you can drop the /. at the end) This selects _every_ second paragraph within any parent that occurs. > <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; > src="http://localhost/something.xml"; > select="//*[local-name()='page']/paragraph[2]"/> This, for starters, requires that paragraph has element 'page' as parent. Moreover, it looks for 'paragraph' elements without namespace. > <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; > src="http://localhost/something.xml"; > select="//*[local-name()='page']/paragraph[2]/."/> Does the same as previous.. > <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; > src="http://localhost/something.xml"; > select="//*[local-name()='page/paragraph[2]']/."/> Again, you added the predicates to the compare string, that won't work > <cinclude:include xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"; > src="http://localhost/something.xml"; > select="//*[local-name()='page']/paragraph/[2]"/> Illegal XPath. You can't specify a predicated directly after a /. Add at least one dot between, but it is easier just to drop the /.. :-) In short, you are looking for either: //*[local-name()='paragraph'][2] or //*[local-name()='page']/*[local-name()='paragraph'][2] Two additional notes: * //paragraph[2] is not the same as (//paragraph)[2] * Specify the namespace of paragraph in you XML that contains the cincludes and use the prefix in the select expressions. Matching through local-name() is not a good method.
