I'm running XSL-FO through Antenna House to make PDF. I need to reset footnote numbers to 1 on every page. I'm using the AH "area tree" XML because it contains the page breaks. My examples below are simplified. A footnote number in the input XML look like <TextArea text="2"/>.

INPUT XML:
<AreaRoot>
B B B  <PageViewportArea>
B B B B B B B  ...
B B B  </PageViewportArea>
B B B  <PageViewportArea>
B B B B B B B  <PageReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B  <RegionViewportArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <RegionReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <MainReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  ...
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  </MainReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <FootnoteReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <FootnoteArea>

XSLT 2.0:

B B B  <xsl:template name="fix-fn-num">

B B B B B B B  <xsl:for-each select="$footnotes">

B B B B B B B B B B B  </xsl:choose>
B B B B B B B  </xsl:for-each>
B B B  </xsl:template>

But the output footnotes are all the same number like this:
<RegionReferenceArea>
B B B  <MainReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B  ...
B B B  </MainReferenceArea>
B B B  <FootnoteReferenceArea>
B B B B B B B  <FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B  <BlockArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  ...
B B B B B B B B B B B  </BlockArea>
B B B B B B B  </FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B  <FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B  <ListBlockArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <TextArea text="3"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B  </ListBlockArea>
B B B B B B B  </FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B  <FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B  <ListBlockArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <TextArea text="3"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B  </ListBlockArea>
B B B B B B B  </FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B  <FootnoteArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B  <ListBlockArea>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <TextArea text="3"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B  </ListBlockArea>
B B B B B B B  </FootnoteArea>
B B B  </FootnoteReferenceArea>
</RegionReferenceArea>

Is there a better way to do this? I think it needs some kind of recursion.

Thanks,
Mark
