Ouch! Never use disable-output escaping like that! > <a href="#konacki2003">Konacki et al. 2003</a> Not really it doesn't produce an a element at all, it just produces teh text stream with that markup, which would normally appear in XML or html as <a href="#konacki2003">Konacki et al. 2003</a> You might, if you are lucky and your system supports d-o-e get an element after the output from XSLT is serialised and re-parsed by an XML parser but there is no need to do that, just have <xsl:for-each select="reference"> <a href="#{@cite}"> <xsl:value-of select="id(@cite)/@author" /> <xsl:value-of select="id(@cite)/@year" /> </a> <xsl:if test="position() != last()">, >/xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> What my problem is, is that references like the above are supposed to be suffixed by a lower case alphabetic character ('a', 'b', etc.) after the year if there are multiple 'citation' elements with identical values for 'author' and 'year'. that's really a "grouping problem" more efficiently solved with keys, (see the faq or jeni's site) however a direct extension of teh above would be <xsl:for-each select="reference"> <xsl:variable name="x"> <xsl:number format="a" count="reference[@author=current()/@author][@year=current()/@year]"/> </xsl:variable> <a href="#{@cite}{$x}"> <xsl:value-of select="id(@cite)/@author" /> <xsl:value-of select="id(@cite)/@year" /> </a> <xsl:if test="position() != last()">, >/xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> (or maybe you need one less than that count, I'm not sure) David -- The LaTeX Companion http://www.awprofessional.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0201362996 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201362996/202-7257897-0619804 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
