If I had an XML like the following (snippet tried to cover off most scenarios): So by "next" do you need the "closest" <endofpage> element to the start of each given section with a <toc>? Since you are already in a section's child, that would entail going up to the parent of <toc> and down as well as those that follow, so the first of the union of those addressed elements: (..//endofpage | ../following::endofpage)[1] ... though I would strongly suggest you revisit your XML to see if the <endofpage> can be more logically positioned. I understand of course that many times we have to deal with what we are given, but it would seem to me there are too many opportunities for a misplaced <endofpage> element. I hope the example below helps. . . . . . . . . . . Ken T:\ftemp>type tickner.xml
