<pb/> elements can mark a page break in different positions in the TEI
structure.
//pb/position() gives me the positional number of all of the page breaks, 1
thru n.
and something like (//pb)[position()=3] gives me the third page, for example.
But I want to process the document thru the identity transform, with only a
different template for the page breaks.
And I need, in the context of that template, to get the page number in the
sequence.
In that context <xsl:variable name=“pos” select=“position()” /> gives me a
number :
I don’t know what that number is relative to, as I can’t detect the pattern,
but it’s definitely not the absolute sequence number I want.
I can’t figure out how to do this. Is there a way to get that value within the
template ?
I was thinking I could find some xpath expression using the self:: axis, but so
far that has eluded me.
The larger task I’m trying to do is to match up the <pb> elements in a TEI file
with page-images in another XML file by page sequence.
