 I have an XML document that has footnote mark-up, this can appear in any level within the document. I want to create an id attribute that will have a value depending on the ancestors of the footnote element. for example: <book>
<preface>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
</preface>
<part>
<chapter>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
</chapter>
<chapter>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
</chapter>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
</part>
<chapter>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
<footnote/>
</chapter>
</book>would turn to: <book>
<preface>
<footnote id="PRE1FN1"/>
<footnote id="PRE1FN2"/>
<footnote id="PRE1FN3"/>
<footnote id="PRE1FN4"/>
</preface>
<part>
<chapter>
<footnote id="P1C1FN1"/>
<footnote id="P1C1FN2"/>
<footnote id="P1C1FN3"/>
</chapter>
<chapter>
<footnote id="P1C2FN1"/>
<footnote id="P1C2FN2"/>
<footnote id="P1C2FN3"/>
</chapter>
<footnote id="P1FN1"/>
<footnote id="P1FN2"/>
<footnote id="P1FN3"/>
</part>
<chapter>
<footnote id="C1FN1"/>
<footnote id="C1FN2"/>
<footnote id="C1FN3"/>
</chapter>
</book>How can i do this in XSLT 2.0? I tried doing it by creating a variable for the count of each ancestor but I can get it correct. <xsl:template match="footnote"> <xsl:variable name="part"> <xsl:number count="part" level="single" format="1"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="chapter"> <xsl:number count="chapter" level="single" format="1"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="footnote"> <xsl:number count="footnote" from="chapter | part | preface" level="any" format="1"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="id" select="if (ancestor::book and ancestor::part and ancestor::chapter) then concat('P', $part, 'C', $chapter, 'N', $footnote) else if (ancestor::book and ancestor::chapter) then concat('C', $chapter, 'N', $footnote) else concat('N', $footnote)"/> <xsl:message select="$id"/> <footnote id="{$id}"/> </xsl:template> Thanks, Jeff
