I am having problems trying to do something with just the first element.
Here is a fragment from my XML document:
<orderedlist>
<listitem number="1">
<para>
Install python (www.python.org).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem number="2">
<para>
Download the xml2txt from (?).
</para>
<para>
You can find the latest working versions from ...
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
I want to put a number just in front of the first paragraphs in each
listitem.
Here is a try from my xslt stylesheet:
<xsl:template match = "listitem/para[1]">
<block>
<xsl:value-of select = "../@number"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</block>
</xsl:template>
This doesn't work. For some reason, xslt gives the position number as 2
for the first paragraph. For example, this styelsheet works, but I don't know
why:
<xsl:template match = "listitem/para">
<xsl:if test = "position() = 2">
<block>
<xsl:value-of select = "../@number"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</block>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Thanks
Paul
