Hello.
Does anybody know what xsl file can take this:
<rows>
<row>
<name>John</name>
<otherName/>
</row>
<row>
<name>Paul</name>
<otherName/>
</row>
<row>
<name>Ringo</name>
<nickName>ClassCastException</nickName>
</row>
<row>
<name>George</name>
<otherName/>
</row>
</rows>
and turn it into this?
1-John
2-Paul
3-Ringo
4-ClassCastException
5-George
Basically, I need the output number to keep incrementing and be continuous.
Everything I see about counters says "if you're implementing a counter
you're doing it wrong", but I have absolutely no idea how to do this.
You just use xsl:number. In declarative programming, you say what you
want rather than describe the steps involved (something that doesn't
help at all when you are learning, but makes sense after :)
<xsl:template match="row">
<xsl:number/>
<xsl:value-of select="'-', (nickName, name)[1]" separator=""/>
</xsl:template>
