Subject: counting the preceding cousins of an element
From: Carlo Liwanag <cliwanag@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, I am trying to get the number of preceding cousin of an element but I can't seem to work on it. I tried using the axes but I guess it could not reference the same ancestor. For example, <chapter> <para> some text here <footnote> some text here <footnote> </para> <para> some text here <footnote> some text here <footnote> some text here <footnote> some text here <footnote> </para> <para> some text here <footnote> some text here <footnote> </para> </chapter> <chapter> ... </chapter> <chapter> ... </chapter>

In this example, the footnote is the element and the ancestor is the chapter. How can I find the preceding::footnote[ancestor::chapter[descendant::"is the current node"]]?

Thanks,
Carlo
