  2. Xpath for validating if href in xref element is pointing to <fn> element

Xpath for validating if href in xref element is pointing to <fn> element #XSLT

Shaurabh
 

I have a test.dita file which consists of a table element as shown below. As you can see few cells inside <tgroup> element consists of xref element which are targeting to <fn> element. I want to have total count of <xref> elements targeting to <fn> element.
I am able to have the count of xref elements having href attribute using below xpath-

<xsl:variable name="prmElement" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="fnXCount" select="count($prmElement/descendant::*[contains(@class,' topic/xref ')][@href])"/>

In addition to above, I want to validate if @href is pointing to <fn> element.  Please help me to improve above xpath for fn count validation.
