Re: [xsl] Question about cross references

Hello Jay:

Thank you for your quick response.
I have to implement this on both XSLT and XSLT Fo. I added this code
to get the ID attribute for all the lists -
<xsl:if test="@id">
     <xsl:copy-of select="@id"/>
   </xsl:if>
I matched xref using the code:
<xsl:template match="xref">

	<xsl:apply-templates select="@xrefid"/>

	</xsl:template>


My problem is, how do I make this xrefid get to match the id value on
the list and produce the number against it?

Like this:

> 1. Some text
> 2. Some other text as in list 1A.
