RE: [xsl] Using COUNT to create unique anchors

2006-11-27 14:42:50
the code I posted didn't require that, it generated a unique 
id using xsl:number. The trick with cross referencing in xslt 
is to always generate the id on the _referenced_ node

D'oh! Yep, my mistake. I wasn't referencing the same nodes. 

So, I'm liking the xsl:number a bit better than the generate-ID, only
because it seems to reflect the hierarchy a bit better.

Follow-up question:

This is my XSL:

<xsl:for-each select="ruleItem">

        <xsl:variable name="id">
                <xsl:number level="multiple"/>
        </xsl:variable>

        <li><a href="#id{$id}"><xsl:value-of select="number" />:
<xsl:value-of select="title" /></a>
                <xsl:if test="ruleItem">
                        <ul>
                                <xsl:call-template name="rulelistTOC" />
                        </ul>
                </xsl:if>
        </li>
</xsl:for-each>

The output (numbering) of this looks like this:

1.1
1.2
  1.2.1
  1.2.2
1.3

This is OK, but I'd prefer:

1
2
  2.1
  2.2
3

I assume it does the former because every node is a child of the parent
node of the document. As such, there maybe isn't away around that?
