Ameteur XMLer here. Forgive misused terminology.
I am wondering if there is an xpath expression which allows me to select a single node from a group of sibling nodes.
XML:
As opposed to dumping all data in my <state> nodes into a table I would only like to produce the Data from the first <state> node -- Colorado. All I am currently familiar with is the <xsl:value-of> tag, which will in turn dump all data. I would like to display Colorado only. Clearly the value-of tag is an incorrect expression to produce such results. I'm just not sure what is.
Or to complicate things even more, is it possible to produce a result for the <state> node containing data Texas, skipping the two results prior to the data Texas.
Hope I am clear enough. Difficulty expressing myself over here =o
