RE: [xsl]Problem with Position()?

You need to organize your code according to the structure of the output you
want to produce, not according to the structure of the input (that's why
it's called a "template"). In this case, this means producing the attributes
of a node before its children. In other cases, it means producing the
children in the right order. If this means you have to process some input
twice (perhaps in different modes), then that's what you have to do.

Dear Michael and all:

   Thanks, and when I "commented" out that line, it works. 
But, how am supposed to generate something like <p 
class="(some attribute"> followed by the text to format the 
content if I cannot use <xsl:call-template> here? The 
template portion is at the bottom.

Thanks again.


Alice

<xsl:template match="collection">
   <div><p/>
            <span class="character">
               <xsl:apply-templates select="id(@recorder)"/> 
</span> </div> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="book">
<div>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="./@author"/>,
  <i><xsl:apply-templates select="./@title"/></i>.
   (<xsl:apply-templates select="./@topic"/>)
   [  <xsl:apply-templates/>]
           </div>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="p">
       <xsl:choose>

           <xsl:when test="count(preceding-sibling::p) != 1">

               <xsl:call-template name="rend"/>
               <xsl:apply-templates/>

           </xsl:when>
           <xsl:otherwise>

               <p>
                   <xsl:call-template name="rend"/>
                   <xsl:apply-templates/>
               </p>

           </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="rend">
        <xsl:attribute name="class">
            <xsl:value-of select="./@rend"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>



Quoting Michael Kay <mike(_at_)saxonica(_dot_)com>:

   I have commented everything in my document except for these 
sections,


That can't be true. At the very least there must be a named

template

called "rend", or it wouldn't run at all. I think Ken is almost 
certainly right, that it's your processing of the @topic

attribute that's at fault.
