[xsl] counting preceding siblings in with-param
Subject: [xsl] counting preceding siblings in with-param From: John Sands <WonkoWatson@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 10:38:44 -0400 |
I have a template that works correctly like this: <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:variable name="section-number" select="count(preceding-sibling::section) + 1" /> ... ("section" elements are interspersed with other elements, but I need to number them "Section 1, Section 2, etc."). I need to move the template into its own file (to make it reusable) and so I need to pass in the section-number as a parameter, instead of calculating it inside the template: <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:param name="section-number" /> ... How do I get the same number, "count(preceding-sibling::section) + 1", from the calling template? This: <xsl:apply-templates select="section | comment | instructions"> <xsl:with-param name="section-number" select="count(preceding-sibling::section) + 1" /> </xsl:apply-templates> gives 1 every time. I suppose that's because the current node is not the "section" node, but its parent, which has no preceding siblings called "section"? But select="./count(preceding-sibling::section) + 1" has the same problem. I'm worried that "with-param" is only calculated once? (I'm using .NET 1.1).
