Re: Question about cross references

Hi:

Sorry about that, I must have done a reply instead of a reply-all.

I am currently trying to achieve this on XSLT.

This is what I did:

I declared a key for the ids...

<xsl:key  name="steps" match="*[@id]" use="@id"/>


And on the xref template:
<xsl:template match="xref">

	<a href="@xrefid">
      <xsl:for-each select="key('steps',@xrefid)">

                        <xsl:number count="list1" level="any"
    format="1"/>
                </xsl:for-each>
</a>
	</xsl:template>

Any suggestions on this approach?
