Subject: [xsl] Auto-Numbering with conditions From: waldron.Navix@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 16 May 2003 13:37:20 +0900 |
Hi, I'm continuing to struggle with this problem. A certain class of manual here uses a numbered step by step instruction on how to operate features of the product (using xsl:number). Except if the instruction has only one step, then it outputs a bullet instead of a single "1". Instructions with 1-9 steps are also formatted differently than instructions with 10 or more steps. This later part is whats got me stumped. So, a snip of the xml code looks like this: <blockquote> <step> <text>This would be step one, auto-numbering appled if more than one step.</text> <explain>This is optional, if additional explaination is needed.</explain> </step> <step> <text>This would be step two, auto-numbering appled if more than one step.</text> <explain>This is optional, if additional explaination is needed.</explain> </step> <!--Continues as needed--> </blockquote> And the XSL that I'm using at the moment looks something like this: <!--Step by step instruction element with conditional auto-numbering--> <xsl:template match="step"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="count(../step)>1"> <span style="display:block; "> <xsl:number format="1 " /> <xsl:apply-templates /> </span> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <span style="display:block; "> <xsl:text>• </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates /> </span> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> At a bare minimum, this works. If there is more than one step element it auto-numbers, otherwise it outputs the bullet. But, what I really want is to modify the conditions so that when there is more than one and less than 10 steps I can apply styles "abc" and when there is more than 10 or more steps, apply styles "xyz". I now understand part of the problem I was fighting trying to use this code, that it was counting the total number of step elements inside each blockquote container and not the step elements individually. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks! Dee Waldron Tokyo Japan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
