Testing on attribute values in nested lists

[Tomas Eriksson <ter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Has anyone has experience with testing on attribute values in nested lists?

The SGML instance looks like this,

<list type="letter">
<listitem><text>.......</text></listitem>
<listitem><text>.......</text></listitem>
      <sub.list type="letter">
      <listitem><text>.......</text></listitem>
      <listitem><text>.......</text></listitem>
      </sub.list>
</list>

I would like to present the list in the following way,

A. ITEM1
B. ITEM2
    B.A ITEM1
    B.B ITEM2
    B.C ITEM 3

The problem is that I have not found any way to test which attribute value
that is set on the list element from the sub.list-listitem location or
store the list-listitem literal and place it in front of the
sublist-listitem. I have searched the DSSSL archive but have not found any
answer.


Another question I have is if someone solved the trick  to collect the
total number of pages and present the total number on the first page, e.g.
Page 1 (23).

Best Regards

Tomas
