RE: count() expression in transform for xml spec 1.0 (xmlspec.xsl)

2003-10-14 10:22:33

I was reading Michael's section of worked examples, and had a 
question about 
the numbering template used in formatting the table of contents:

when using, <<count="inform-div1|div1|div2|div3|div4">>,  
this is apparently 
used to reference the ancestor elements of these tag names.  
but doesn't 
this notation denote a reference to the children elements of 
the current 
node?

No, because the count attribute of xsl:number is a pattern, not an
expression. It follows the same rules as the match attribute of
xsl:template.

Michael Kay



the whole template was this:
   <xsl:template mode="number" match="*">
      <xsl:number level="multiple"
         count="inform-div1|div1|div2|div3|div4"
         format="1.1 "/>
   </xsl:template>

thanks in advance.
