The following code presents one simple (not necessarily efficient)
compact and straightforward solution ot the splitting of "/a/b/c"
elements into pages of fixed length.
It doesn't address the other aspects of the problem, but these should
not be difficult, too:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:variable name="vRecsPerPage" select="11"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/*/b/c">
<xsl:variable name="vPos">
<xsl:number count="/*/b/c" level="any"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$vPos mod $vRecsPerPage = 1">
<page number="{ceiling($vPos div $vRecsPerPage)}"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi,
I'm using xsl to generate a series of pages dynamically from a
database. I want to produce pages with a finite number of records
(say 100) out of a 3 level tree,
<a>
<b>
<c>1</c>
<c>2</c>
<c>3</c>
<c>4</c>
</b>
<b>
<c>1</c>
<c>2</c>
<c>3</c>
<c>4</c>
<c>5</c>
<c>6</c>
</b>
<!--(etc. etc. etc.)-->
</a>
Some attributes of 'b' elements need to be displayed at the start of a
'b' section or at the start of a page if a 'b' section is split across
pages. Only 'c' elements count towards the 100 elements per page.
And I need to generate a link to the next page (just <a
heref="javascript:foo(param1,param2,param3...);">) and the previous
page. Preferably at top and bottom.
The number of c elements in any given b element is unknown, and has no
practical limit. There may be b elements that contain no c elements.
Naturally, information for those b elements should not be displayed.
I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now, but I'm lost
on it.
Thanks
