RE: Bibliography References

...tentatively dips his virtual finger in the listserv.

I have an XSLT 1.0 solution.

    <xsl:template match="bibliography"/>
    <xsl:template match="bibref">
        <xsl:variable name="xref" select="@xref"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="//bibliography/bibliomixed">
          <xsl:if test="@id = $xref">
            <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::bibliomixed)+1"/>
          </xsl:if>
       </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I am sure there is a more XSLTish way of doing this and that there is some
super-fantabulous way of doing it in XSLT 2.0, but this works.  I can't wait
to see what others suggest.

Subject:  Bibliography References

Hi All!

I am trying to output the following bibliography
references (<bibref...>) in following format. 

***This is the output that I want:***

Refer to References (1, 4, 5) for guidelines on
performing precision testing.

***The source file looks like this:***

<para>Refer to References (<bibref
xref="bib98861831"/>,<bibref
xref="bib98861816"/>,<bibref xref="bib988618273"/>)
for guidelines on performing precision testing.</para>

<bibliography><title>REFERENCES</title>
  <bibliomixed id="bib98861831">National
Committee...<booktitle>Fundamentals...</booktitle>...</bibliomixed>

  <bibliomixed id="bib98861814">National
Committee...</bibliomixed> 
  <bibliomixed id="bib98861870">National
Committee...</bibliomixed>
  <bibliomixed id="bib98861816">National
Committee...</bibliomixed> 
  <bibliomixed id="bib988618273">National Committee
for Clinical...</bibliomixed>
 </bibliography> 
  
 I think I may have to first check the "xref" value
against the "id" in bibliomixed for a match and then
count the bibliomixed location and output the
reference number. But how do I get started?
 
 Could someone give me a few pointers on how to
accomplish this task?
 
 Thanks in advance for your help!!
