 Hello all,
I have numbering difficulty. I'm trying to number sections hierarchically,
and also to include the number of their parent section, if they have any, or
their own number if they are a top-level section. This is what I have:
<report>
<section title="foo">
<section title="bar">
<section title="baz"/>
</section>
</section>
<section title="things">
<section title="thing1"/>
<section title="thing2">
<section title="subthing1"/>
<section title="subthing2"/>
<section title="subthing3"/>
</section>
</section>
</report>
This is what I want as output:
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>Section foo (1., parent 1.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section bar (1.1., parent 1.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section baz (1.1.1., parent 1.1.)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section things (2., parent 2.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section thing1 (2.1., parent 2.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section thing2 (2.2., parent 2.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section subthing1 (2.2.1., parent 2.2.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section subthing2 (2.2.2., parent 2.2.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section subthing3 (2.2.3., parent 2.2.)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
After checking out the FAQ I saw an example on numbering based on the
parent, which gave me the idea to try this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="report">
<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section/section">
<ul>
<li>
<xsl:text>Section </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
<xsl:text> (</xsl:text>
<xsl:number level="multiple" count="section"
format="1.1.0"/>
<xsl:text>, parent </xsl:text>
<xsl:number level="multiple"
count="section/section" format="1.1.0"/>
<xsl:text>)</xsl:text>
</li>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/report/section">
<ul>
<li>
<xsl:text>Section </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
<xsl:text> (</xsl:text>
<xsl:number level="multiple" count="section"
format="1.1.0"/>
<xsl:text>, parent </xsl:text>
<xsl:number level="multiple" count="section"
format="1.1.0"/>
<xsl:text>)</xsl:text>
</li>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
But this gives me:
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>Section foo (1., parent 1.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section bar (1.1., parent 1.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section baz (1.1.1., parent 1.1.)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section things (2., parent 2.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section thing1 (2.1., parent 1.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section thing2 (2.2., parent 2.)</li>
<ul>
<li>Section subthing1 (2.2.1., parent 2.1.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section subthing2 (2.2.2., parent 2.2.)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Section subthing3 (2.2.3., parent 2.3.)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Close but not quite what I need. Anyone have any suggestions, or am I
barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks for considering,
Stephen Blake
