[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: displaying position of nodes
 First of all, you haven't explained what do you mean by "position of the
node".
Then, you are speaking about "node" but your template matches elements.
I gather that you'd like to produce the relative number of every element in
document order. Is this so?
Then, what do you mean by "the value of the node"? The string value of an
element is the concatenated values of all of its text-node descendents --
this will not produce a nice output and I doubt this is what you really
wanted. I will output the element name instead.
Then, most important, your template, which matches elements, will be
instantiated only against the top element ("root").
The most important correction to your template is to ensure that the
transformation (the template matching) process continues against other
elements.
Therefore, an xsl:apply-templates need be added at the end of the code of
your template. This will apply templates to all children of the current node
and will trigger the default template for text nodes. This is how "the
value" of the nodes will also be produced.
The modified code is:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<body><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:number count="*" level="any"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(name(), ': ')"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The output is:
<body>
1root:
2desktop:
3window: main
4window: sub
5pane:
6button: one
7button: two
</body>
I hope this is more or less what you wanted.
Hope this helped.
