Dear Friends,
I'm trying my hand at XSLT for the first time in few years, trying to
get a dictionary ready for print-out. I've got just about everything
working, but I'm having trouble with one point. In the explanatory
section of each entry, I have this structure:
<headword>The Term</headword>
<sense_area>
<sense>Explanation of meaning #1</sense>
<sense>Explanation of meaning #2</sense>
<sense>Explanation of meaning #3</sense>
</sense_area>
I want this to be in inline paragraph format, not list format, so I have
used <xsl:number>, so that I can output something like this:
The Term: (I) Explanation of meaning 1. (II) Explanation of meaning 2.
(III) Explanation of meaning 3.
I did this with:
<xsl:for-each select="sense_area"><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="sense">
(<xsl:number format="I"/>)<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
I'm OK up to here with the XSL, but the only problem is, if there is
only one <sense> I don't want any numbers at all. So I assume that I
need to do a test, which will turn off numbering if the amount of
<sense> is not greater than one. So I've tried a few things using
count(), without success. I've been playing with this for a while now,
and can't make anything work. The present code I've got (not working) is:
<xsl:for-each select="sense_area"><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="sense">
<xsl:if test="count(sense) > I">(<xsl:number
format="I"/>)</xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
Can someone perhaps see what is wrong with this?
Thank you very much.
Chuck
