Hi,

I am attempting to create a table of contents to include all elements with

Description standards, probably not important. Table of contents does
require indentation based on level in heirarchy.
This would be *much* easier if you used the "plain" <c> elements
instead of the pernicious c0x elements, whose spurious numbered
element typing, as you've discovered, just gets in the way of their
@level typing, which is what you really care about -- resulting in
the nasty code David showed.
If you can't do that (maybe your writers insist for some unfathomable
reason that c0x elements are easier), you can convert c0x elements
easily to c elements with a modified identity transform:
<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="c01 | c02 | c03 | c04 | c05 | c06 | c07 | c08 |
c09 | c10">
<c>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</c>
</xsl:template>
Then problems like yours (the ToC thing) become much easier and cleaner.
If for some reason you have to convert the opposite way -- an EAD
instance that uses plain components into one that uses numbered
components -- that's a bit harder; but it's still a stylesheet in two
templates.
Cheers,
Wendell
