RE: RE: [xsl] Problem with Xpath

[cknell@xxxxxxxxxx]

<xsl:number> is probably a false friend in this situation. I have a notion of what you need to do, but it will be much easier to help if you post an example (as opposed to the description you gave) of what the output you are now getting looks like, and a second example of the output you would like to get.

Subject:  RE: [xsl] Problem with Xpath

Thank you the .//info worked. But I guess I have a new
problem now, since there is some styling to format
these levels as 1, 2, 3 etc, now if the second<l1> tag
matched then the numbering starts with 2. instead of
1. 

Is there any way to start this numebring at 1 instead
of 2 so that even in between if there are levels that
have to be missed the numbering stays as 1,2 , 3 and
not 2, 5, ,6 etc.

Please let me know.
