David,
<xsl:if test="parent::step">
Worked like a charm. Thanks.
No! You can never access or insetr or in any way manipulate
tags in XSLT. You can't add a start tag in one place and an
end tag somewhere else. XSLT works on node trees and you
can't have half a node.
I know, I've been cheating with:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><ol></xsl:text>
My XSLT so far is:
<xsl:template match="step">
<xsl:if test="parent::step">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><ol></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<li>
<xsl:apply-templates/></li>
<xsl:if test="position()=last()">
<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"></ol></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
<li>
<xsl:apply-templates/></li>
</xsl:template>
My end result is a procedural document, with numbered steps from 1 to
say 100, and section headings inbetween like PREPARE, REMOVE PART, FIT
PART, ADJUST PART, FINALIZE, and these do not restart the numbering. So
I have already started an <ol> as soon as I see the first section, and
so the first level <step> only needs a <li> tag around it, while the
second/third needs a <ol> before the first and after the last.
I'm trying to accomplish:
XML:
<section>
<title>PREPARE</title>
<step>Step 1.</step>
<step>Do as follows:
<step>Select: Start</step>
<step>Select: Yes</step>
</step>
</section>
<section>
<title>REMOVE PART</title>
<step>Step 3.</step>
<step>Do as follows:
<step>Select: Initialize Motor</step>
<step>Select: Yes</step>
</step>
</section>
Desired output HTML:
PREPARE
1. Step 1.
2. Do as follows:
2.1. Select: Start
2.2. Select: Yes
REMOVE PART
3. Step 3.
4. Do as follows:
4.1 Select: Initialize Motor
4.2 Select: Yes
Regards,
Cas
