It all depends really on who is doing the line-breaking and when. If you're
deciding in the XSLT code where to put the line breaks, then it can be done
as suggested with a recursive template. If the line breaks are being decided
downstream by an XSL-FO processor, then you're scuppered unless there's some
XSL-FO construct to help you out (which I'm not aware of, but I'm no
expert).
It would be nice if there were some XML vocabulary at the level of PDF that
described the physical page layout, which you could then do a transform
on... But that's wishful thinking.

Subject: [xsl] Line Numbering
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
