RE: List Item Query

I've tried what you've stated below and it works.
However, i have another question.
How can i read the value inside '(' parenthesis?
When the value is either 'a' or 'i' i can properly render it as:
(a) Text 1....
(b) Text 1....
(c) Text 1....
or
(i) Text 1....
(ii) Text 1....
(iii) Text 1....

Maybe your wondering where did i get such xml input.
Well, we've generate the xml based from the DTD.
And, as much as possible we do not want to change the DTD.

thanks for the help,
Sheryl

Hi Sheryl,

If you have the assumption that the list type can be determined from the first list/item element, and secondly that if the item starts with '(' then it is an ordered list, otherwise it is an ordered list, you can try the following:

<xsl:template match="list">
 <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="starts-with(item[1], '(')">
   <ol class="">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="item" mode="ol"/>
   </ol>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
   <ul>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="item" mode="ul"/>
   </ul>
  </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item" mode="ol">
 <li><xsl:value-of select="substring(., 5)"/></li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item" mode="ul">
 <li><xsl:value-of select="substring(., 6)"/></li>
</xsl:template>

Hope that helps,
Joshua
