I sincerely apologize if this is a FAQ; I'm unable to find an answer to
this in the archives nor the FAQ (although there are a couple of FAQ
entries that are similar to this and imply to me that what I'm doing
should work).
I am using xsl:key and select="key()" to include part of my input tree
at another place during processing. This works fine, but the problem is
I'm trying to using xsl:number as well and I can't prevent xsl:number
from resetting (apparently) its context while processing the referred-to
nodes. (Apologies if my terminology is not correct; I'm back to XSL
after having not used it much in the last year-plus.)
Here's a *very* simplified example. Here's my input XML:
<test>
<extra myid="extraid"><name>Extra item</name></extra>
<item>
<name>Item one</name>
<name>Item two</name>
<name>Item three</name>
<insert ref="extraid"/>
</item>
</test>
and I'm processing it with this XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:key name="testkey" match="extra" use="@myid"/>
<xsl:template match="insert">
<xsl:variable name="d" select="key('testkey',@ref)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$d" mode="include"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="name">
<xsl:number/> - <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="extra" mode="include">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="extra"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
what I'm getting for output is this:
1 - Item one
2 - Item two
3 - Item three
1 - Extra item
and what I want is:
1 - Item one
2 - Item two
3 - Item three
4 - Extra item
Is this possible? I've messed a bunch with level, from, count, etc without any
luck. I feel like this should be a no-brainer...
Much thanks --
