Hi,

I'm trying to go to the immediately preceding sibling of the content node. I've tried preceding sibling::position()[1] but nothing returns.

Any suggestions?

Try: preceding-sibling::node()[position()-1]
The preceding-sibling specifies all previous nodes on the same axis - including namespaces and attributes. Using "node()" will exclude those.
