Subject: [xsl] document function and counting From: Christine Donica <mizar@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 10:00:49 -0500 (CDT) |
I am trying to use the document function to pull in the result trees of other documents and then I want to number things across the entire new document in one pass. For example say I have a file called master.xml which contains uri's to other documents called foo1.xml and foo2.xml. Say foo1.xml and foo2.xml each contain a list of <item> tags. I want the output of the transformation to be a document which contains all of the <item>s of both foo1.xml and foo2.xml AND I want to number them continuously from the top to the bottom. I want to do this in one pass of a stylesheet. I can pull foo1.xml and foo2.xml into the output file using document(). Also, if all of the items are already in the same document I can easily number them using the <xsl:number> tag. However, it is not possible to do both in the same run of the stylesheet because xsl:number does not seem to have access to the elements in main.xml and either foo1.xml or foo2.xml at the same time. So I can reach my goal if I write two stylesheets and run them one after each other, but I don't want to do that. Alternatively, I have tried using parameters to pass a number into the item template. However, I don't know how to get this information from the point where the template matches an <item> in foo1.xml to a point where it matches <item> in foo2.xml. That is, I cannot pass parameters up the tree. Could someone please explain how I should do this? Or, is it even possible? Thank you so much for your time.
