Subject: [xsl] Looking to understand how this works?


Americo Albuquerque sent me some wonderful code to lay out 
outlined steps using table/cells and a space variable. 
Although I understand there are alternatives, I actually 
could understand most of this!  But I would love to
understand:

(1) The significance of the math to calculate the space 
variable? Take the count (ie level) of the step multiply by 
12 + 1 multiply by 7...just curious.

Ok. 12 is the number of spaces to put (could be any other number).
Multiplied by the step level so you get level*(12 spaces). 7 is the width
in pixels of each space (this could also be any other number). The +1 is
just I don't get width="0", it will be at least 1 space width.

This is used in <table width="space width">

An alternative to this was post by Wendell as:
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::step">
 <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>


(2) What does the line <xsl:apply-templates 
select="*[not(self::step)]"/> mean?

Here we apply-templates to all childs except step ones.

Hope that this helps you
