Counted Lists

[Chuck Darney <cdarney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again;
  I'm now trying to produce lists with properly incremented counting
(ie: i., ii., iii.  -  or a., b., c.).  The lists in the Docbook DSL are
very good, but don't do quite what I want.  I've tried modifying the
example to produce the following but Jade gives me an error saying "this
context requires a sosofo".  Does the 'string-append' require something
else?

(element (LIST ITEM P)
   (make line-field
      (case (inherited-attribute-string "type")
	(("1")(string-append
	   (format-number (PARNUM) "1") "."))
	(("2")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "A") "."))
	(("3")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "a") "."))
	(("4")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "i") "."))
	(("5")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "I") "."))
	(("6")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "A") "."))
	(("7")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "A") "."))
	(("8")(string-append
	  (format-number (PARNUM) "A") "."))
 )))
				  
				  
(define (PARNUM)
  (child-number (parent (current-node))))

The last three or so items in the  'case' will be for bullets, etc.

Thanks...Chuck Darney
