RE: Is this possible with XSL?

It looks like some nested xsl:choose elements in combination with some mod() tests could do this, but it's hard to understand exactly what your question is. If you explained the rules for producing the output in a little more detail, it would be easier to help.

Subject:   Is this possible with XSL?

Hi-

I am having to do a bit of difficult programming work in my stylesheet that I am trying to figure out if I can actually code this with XSL or if I should try to call a Java extension to do this instead. We have an empty element called <columnRuler> that has two attributes to denote the starting number and ending number of this ruler. This ends up generating a monospace sequence of characters. We sometimes use this above monspace code samples to denote what column something occurs in.

Here is what is looks like if the element looked like <columnRuler startNum="1" endNum="40"/>:
