RE: Line Numbering

I thank all that have looked at this, but yes Mike you are correct.  My end
result is an xml document that has line numbers starting from the top of the
page and incrementing till the end of the document.  I would like to do this
with a transformation as it is view only, I do not need to serialize it.

1 This would be line one.  It would break and become line two
2 after sixty charecters. The actual line numbers would not be
3 included in the sixty charecters.

I will look at all the replys and see what I can get from them in hopes that
I can find an answer to my question.

That will just give you short strings.

I was under the impression that he wants the serialized result
tree to be subjected to the hard limit. For example, this is undesirable:

<html>
     <head>
           <title>this title is less than 60 characters</title>
     </head>
     ....

It would need to have <title> wrapped onto 2 lines because even though the
text in the title is short, the line of output (including start/end tags
and indenting) exceeds the 60 character limit.
