RE: [xsl] Using COUNT to create unique anchors

I'm not sure what your input is (haven't been following the thread closely).
xsl:number says that in the absence of a count attribute, it only counts
nodes at each level that have the same name as the context node. I would
expect to fix your problem by changing the "count" attribute, but I can't
account for your current output.

Subject: RE: [xsl] Using COUNT to create unique anchors

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?
