Steve,
Thanks for responding so quickly. I'm trying to use your idea with a
recursive call but I'm confused on a couple of things. Firstly, on the
line "<output line='{$lineNumber}' text="substring($para,0,29)" />" I
assume you meant <xsl:output>. However, I don't think that <xsl:output>
can go in that particular spot. It has to be a child to <stylesheet> or
<transform>. That being said, its entirely possible that its my setup
that is causing this problem. Would you object if I pasted my xsl in an
e-mail, and then you show me how to implement this into my existing code
if you have the time?

Hmm... you could use substring() and a recursive template.
That's what I'd do.
I'd start it off by something like
<xsl:call-template name="para">
<xsl:with-param name="lineNumber" select="1" />
<xs:with-param name="para" select="$para" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:template name="para">
<xsl:param name="lineNumber">1</lineNumber>
</xsl:param name="para" />
<output line='{$lineNumber}' text="substring($para,0,29)" />
<xsl:if test="test if length of $para is greater than 29" >
<xsl:call-template name="para">
<xsl:with-param name="lineNumber" select="$lineNumber + 1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="para" select="substring($para,30)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
...approximately.

Hi,
I'm trying to number the lines of multiple paragraphs.
For example:
xml--
<bill>
...
<para>
FOR AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; to amend sections 28-101,
28-201 and 28-932, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2004; to
change provision relating to assault by a confined person; to create the
offense of assault...(etc)
</para>
I would need xsl code that makes the output look like so...
1 FOR AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; to amend sections
2 28-101, 28-201 and 28-932, Revised Statutes Cumulative
3 Supplement, 2004; to change provision relating to assault by a
4 confined person; to creat the offense of assault...(etc)
Can anyone help me with this? I just getting my feet wet with xsl, any
help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Luke
