Hi John,

At 10:38 AM 7/23/2003, you wrote:

I need to move the template into its own file (to make it reusable)

Sounds good....

 and
so I need to pass in the section-number as a parameter, instead of
calculating it inside the template:

Why does this follow? Can't you generate the number in the template anyhow?

The fact that the two templates start life in different files has no impact on their functionality (pace differences in template precedence due to xsl:import) -- the same techniques for generating numbers will work in any case, once the stylesheet is compiled and run.

Maybe there's a reason you haven't given as to why you have to pass it as a parameter?

BTW, you might consider using <xsl:number/> as a more robust way of generating numbers, if you haven't already. It's not always better, and it doesn't do what you're asking for, but it does have some nice features.

Cheers,
Wendell
