For the XML input <colors> <color>red</color> <color>green</color> <color>blue</color> <color>yellow</color> </colors> the author claims that the XPath (color) is needed to have the sequence of <color> elements but I think that the brackets are not needed, it would suffice to use <xsl:template match="colors"> {<xsl:value-of select="item-at(color,3)"/>} {<xsl:value-of select="index-of(color,'green')"/>} </xsl:template> to apply the function item-at respectively index-of to the sequence of <color> elements.
