Re: How do you count nesting level

Hi,
you could also do it , after modifying your method like this:

<xsl:template match="title">
        <xsl:param name="Depth" select="count(ancestor::*[self::section])" />
        <xsl:value-of select="$Depth" />
</xsl:template>

Hi

I want to be able to work out how deep a given <title> is in a document. In the schema, <title> is always a direct descendant of a <section>. Given the following:

<collection>
        <section>
                <title>1</title>
                <title>2</title>
        </section>
        <section />
        <section>
                <title>3</title>
                <title>4</title>
                <section>
                        <title>5</title>
                </section>
        </section>
</collection>

Title 1 and 2 are at level 1. Title 3 and 4 are at level 1. Title 5 is at level 2.

I have tried:

<xsl:template match="title" mode="DoIt">
        <xsl:param name="Depth" select="count(ancestor::*[section])" />
        <xsl:value-of select="$Depth" />
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="DoIt" />
</xsl:template>

But it doesn't seem to be working. What am I missing?

Chris
