My question is how to number its child nodes as:


XML


        1. Definition
          1.1 XML
          1.2 XSL

2. Implementation

I have tried <xsl:number level="multiple" format="1. " />, but the document
looks like:

XML

        1. Definition
          1. XML
          2. XSL

Correct ... because you haven't told it what needs to be counted ... as a result it is only counting the current element.


The example below (not accommodating white space) illustrates how using a union in the pattern gives the processor a list of things to count.

I hope this helps.
