Dear Nestor,
There are a couple of things about your question that are confusing.
You are correct that you cannot parameterize the setting on xsl:number/@level.
But you also say
But I am stuck because I cannot change the element <xsl:number> without
having to rewrite a new template from scratch.
without explaining why this is a problem.
The usual approach to customizing code (such as
the Docbook stylesheets you might download) is
indeed to write new templates, keeping them in a
separate layer that imports the generic logic,
overriding its templates selectively. So you
rewrite only what needs rewriting, while keeping
your customizations separate from a standard
distribution. The mechanism you would use is xsl:import.
But it's not clear from your message whether this
advice is even relevant, since you don't say much
about what kind of architectural issues you are dealing with.
So: what's wrong with rewriting the template? You
would have to do this anyway even if you could
parameterize the setting you wanted, since the
template as given doesn't accept a parameter. :-)
Cheers,
Wendell

Hello,
I'm using dblatex v. 0.2.12-4 (GNU/Linux Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64bit).

I'm trying to number DocBook document in the 'legal' (lawyer) style, to
say:
1 Chapter one
Article 1. Article one
Article 2. Article two
2 Chapter two
Article 3. Article three (*not* 'one' again)
Article 4. Article four (*not* 'two' again)

**I would just like to change <xsl:number> element to have the attribute
"level=any" on the title of a <section> element.**
===
I have used code from
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5758.html#d7876e154 (recommended
here, but simplified)
===
<xsl:template match="sect1">
<xsl:number level="any" from="chapter" format="1. "/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
===
I have carefully read the documentation, and I understand how XSL works.
I have tried many different solutions, from different sites, but I have
got no positive results.
I have read on the book that XSL works with parameters, so I have tried
also the following (no positive result):
<xsl:param name="section.number.level">any</xsl:param>
and
<xsl:param name="section.title.number.level">any</xsl:param>
But I am stuck because I cannot change the element <xsl:number> without
having to rewrite a new template from scratch.
Any ideas? Thanks.
