xsl:number does not output the numbering correctly. I have tried various
ways of using xsl:number and though I can get a letter to output instead of
a number, the sequence is wrong. Below are the various ways I have tried
using xsl:number and the output I received. Please excuse me for the length
of this post but I wanted to list all the different methods I had tried.
Also please note that after the 1st listing, I only noted the block that
contained the xls:number function rather than repeating the entire element
definition since nothing else had changed.

I would like to output a letter instead of a number when performing a
count
for a specific element.
I think it's just format="A" on xsl:number to get "A", "B" etc...
Either way look up xsl:number and go from there.

I would like to output a letter instead of a number when performing a count
for a specific element.
For example, the code snippet:
<xsl:template match="//SelfStudy" mode="toc">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="TOC1">
<xsl:text>Self Study </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="
count(preceding::SelfStudy)+1"/>
<xsl:text> - </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="../../CuMetadata/Title
"/>
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="TOCLeaderSpacing">
<fo:leader xsl:use-attribute-sets="MediumLeader"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates select="
SelfStudyContent/SelfStudyOverview/Body |
SelfStudyReuse/SelfStudyReference | SelfStudyReuse/SelfStudyConcept |
SelfStudyReuse/SelfStudyConcept/CuInline/ContentUnit/CuContent/Concept/ConceptBody/subcontent/subheading
| SelfStudyReuse/SelfStudyGWT |
SelfStudyReuse/SelfStudyGWT/CuInline/ContentUnit/CuContent/GuidedWalkThrough/Instructions/ConceptReview/ConceptReviewTitle
|
SelfStudyReuseSelfStudyGWT/CuInline/ContentUnit/CuContent/GuidedWalkThrough/Instructions/SubInstruction/gwtSubHeading
" mode="toc"/>
</xsl:template>
would produce the following:
SelfStudy 1 - Title
SelfStudy 2 - Title
SelfStudy 3 - Title
...
However, I would like it to output as follows:
SelfStudy A - Title
SelfStudy B - Title
SelfStudy C - Title
How do I get the count to output as a letter value instead of a number
value?
Thanks for your help! Sharon
