Hi, all...

This seems like a no-brainer, but it's not producing the desired results.

If $enumFig is declared as:

<xsl:variable name="enumFig" as="element()+"
select="$enumerables//*[@sourceId=$figId]" />

and in my debugging <xsl:message> output, $enumfig is:

<fig xmlns="http://dita4publishers.org/enumerables"
      sourceId="topicidfig-38-24-22"
      id="UNAMECommandOutput-FF8FD85A"
      class="- topic/fig "><title>UNAME Command Output</title></fig>

and <xsl:sequence select="$enumFig/*" />  returns this:

<title xmlns="http://dita4publishers.org/enumerables">UNAME Command
Output</title>

then why does the following return an empty sequence?

<xsl:value-of select="$enumFig/title" />

I'm stumped!!

Thx

Steve
