Ordered list letters instead of numbers for specific instances

Post by **josecotes** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 10:13 pm

Hi all,

This is my xml:

<topic><title/><body>

<ol>

	<li>Item 1</li>

	<li>Item 2</li>

</ol>

</body></topic>

When I produce a PDF it comes as this:

Now, I need letters instead of numbers for just this particular instance, so I added an outputclass="lower-alpha" to my <ol> tag:

Code: Select all

<topic><title/><body>

<ol outputclass="lower-alpha">

	<li>Item 1</li>

	<li>Item 2</li>

</ol>

</body></topic>

And then, in my plugin, I added this (see box):

For some reason, this is not working and I am still getting numbers. Any clues?

Thanks all,

Hi,

The XSLT template seems to match the list item element but the @outputclass is set on the OL element. So maybe you should retrieve its value like parent::node()/@outputclass.

Thanks a lot!

This is exactly how I implemented it and it worked:

Code: Select all

<xsl:when test="parent::node()/@outputclass='lower-alpha'">

	<xsl:number format="a"/>

</xsl:when>
