# EXSLT - set:trailing

Implementer Page: set.trailing.html Function Package: set.trailing.zip #### Function Syntax
    node-set set:trailing(node-set, node-set)
#### Template Syntax
    <xsl:call-template name="set:trailing">
       <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="node-set" />
       <xsl:with-param name="node" select="node-set" />
    </xsl:call-template>
The `set:trailing` function returns the nodes in the node set passed as the first argument that follow, in document order, the first node in the node set passed as the second argument. If the first node in the second node set is not contained in the first node set, then an empty node set is returned. If the second node set is empty, then the first node set is returned. The `set:trailing` template applies templates to these nodes in `set:trailing` mode. By default, the nodes are copied by this template, so that a result tree fragment consisting of the nodes is returned. ## Implementations The following XSLT processors support `set:trailing`: 4XSLT, from 4Suite.
