The xml-count() function does not result in 0 when none of the node sought is absent.

In \writestatus{************}{<\xmlfilter{#1}{/img/count()}>} <node></node> correctly returns: ************ : <1>

But in <node></node> one would expect the result to be zero but instead an error occurs: ************ : <>

This is a nuisance because a simple \ifcase .. \or ... \else ... \fi now fails. ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> \relax \@@su:xml:case:frontfigure .../img/count()}\relax \ifcase Can this be remedied?

puzzles me as i return 0 in case of nil .. small example needed ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
