It's tricky because the processor doesn't count close tags in the various number/count functions, but I came up with this xslt. In order to make it work you have to "pretty-print" your source document (like in BBEdit, format as "hierarchical") to have one node / tag text per line. This trick puts me within about +/- 20 lines of the right line, in my 2000 line source file. <xsl:text>{{{</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="(count(preceding::* | ancestor::*) * 2 * 9 div 10 + 1" /> <xsl:text>}}}</xsl:text> I multiply the result of the count by 2 because every node has a close tag, thus doubling the number of lines. Except for the nodes that don't have close tags, so I multiply by a "constant" that should be roughly the ratio of nodes with close tags to nodes w/o close tags, 9/10 seemed to work after fiddling. I can't remember what the +1 does ;-) simon --- www.simonwoodside.com XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list Current Thread debugging source line numbers S Woodside - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 00:20:42 -0500 (EST) <= Michael Kay - Fri, 24 Jan 2003 03:44:59 -0500 (EST) <Possible follow-ups> Dimitre Novatchev - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 00:51:09 -0500 (EST) S Woodside - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 01:02:22 -0500 (EST) Roger Glover - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 01:22:01 -0500 (EST) <- Previous Index Next -> Re: XML->XSLT->HTML->CSS, Oleg Tkachenko Thread RE: debugging source line num, Michael Kay Re: xpath confusion (compound, S Woodside Date Re: XML->XSLT->HTML->CSS, S Woodside Month
