RE: [xsl] Sequencing, Numbering, and Count
Subject: RE: [xsl] Sequencing, Numbering, and Count From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 11:03:40 -0000 |
If the output has a simple relationship to the input then this can be done using position(). If not, I would recommend a two-pass solution: first produce the output tree in your first example, then run a second phase to number the nodes (using position()).

Plus # once the document is produced I need to set the maximum sequence number # equal to a variable (In the above example it is 3) so that I can pass this # information back to my middleware. # # Thanks, # James Paul # # XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
