Re: [xsl] Line Numbering

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
