Re: [xsl] Creating an Index Page that references multiple page numbers using XSLT/FOP . Final output is PDF

perhaps could you add a number (<xsl:number ) at the end of the id?

Seems that you can only use the value in id once. The reference could
show up multiple times through the publication. I tried to place the
value that is in the <MEDDINDEX> tag from my XML doc onto the ID value
but received an error saying that I can not use duplicate values. I used
something like this:

<fo:block text-indent='-9pt' id="MEDDINDEX" start-indent='9pt'>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</fo:block>

Thanks for the advice!!

I get the page-citation piece but do you have an example of the "id
attribute EOF block"?

You have to use the id attribut eof block to indentify the drug, and
after the page-citation FO element.

I am using:
XPATH 2.0 and XSLT 1.0 with FOP

I am creating a PDF using an XML output to produce a publication that
has a drug list and an index page that references every drug by page
number on the drug list.
I have the drug list created and can produce the PDF however the Index
page has me stumped.

The XMLS Schema looks something like this:
<Root>
<MEDDDRUG>
<MEDDDRUGN>This text shows up on the Drug List</MEDDDRUGN>
<MEDDTIER></MEDDTIER>
<MEDDBD> </MEDDBD>
<MEDDPA></MEDDPA>
<MEDDQL></MEDDQL>
<MEDDST></MEDDST>
<MEDDINDEX>This text shows up on the Index Page</MEDDINDEX>
</MEDDRUG>
</Root>

The Drug lists is pretty simple. All it does is list out all drug
names
in the <MEDDDRUGN> tag in a column format. The Index page should list
out all drug names found in the <MEDDINDEX> tag and reference pages
that
the drug name shows up on the drug list. For Example, Lets say
Allopurinal shows up on the drug list 3 times(on pages 2,4,10). Then
the
index should look something like:

*A*
Allopurinal
.............................................................. 2,4,10
Other A drugs
.........................................................
#,#,,,

*B*
Other B
drugs..........................................................#,#,,
.
.
*Z*
Other Z
drugs...........................................................#,#,,

I have searched online for a good example but could not find any that
fit well. If any one has some ideas please let me know. I do have the
working XSL and XML that currently build out the drug list if needed.
Thanks in advance for any one with the knowledge to solve this
problem.
