Has anyone used XPointer range-to in the XInclude transformer

[Steven Hayes <st...@sydney.edu.au>]

Dear Cocooners,

I need to choose a range of elements in a XIncluded document. While I
have no problem with the following

<xi:include href="{$source_document}#xpointer(/TEI/text/body/div/*[2]/*[4])"/>

joining two xpointers with a range (and using what I understand to be
the correct syntax) returns nothing - i.e.

<xi:include href="{$source_document}#xpointer(/TEI/text/body/div/*[2]/*[4]/range-to(/TEI/text/body/div/*[4]/*[6]))"/>

In the abscence of this range-to function I am forced to labouriously
construct a series of includes for the start and end element and
everything in between. It is hard to descibe just how dificult I find
this latter approach.

According to the Cocoon documentation "The XInclude tansformer works
according to the XInclude specification" so either the documentation
is wrong or I dont understand the specification (the second option is,
I admit, more likely).

Any help would be very welcome.

Regards

Steven Hayes
