| As I want to number the productions (which are marked up inside | a "prod" element, I thought about incrementing a global variable | (initialised to zero inside a <define-script>...</define-script>) | but that is explicitly forbidden by the XSL spec (section 7.2: Limited | Side-effects). As the "prod" elements are encapsulated inside various | "scrap" element and possible further "prodgroup" elements, I cannot | see how to simply get at the sequence number of the "prod"s in the | global document by using built-in functions. One of the problems with the submission is that it says almost nothing about what builtin functions exist. With xslj, you can use the elementNumber() function from DSSSL to enumerate the productions. (If I'm wrong about that, I'm sure Henry will correct me ;-) | where the numbers between [..] are those of the productions which | define the terms in question. This probably needs two passes on the | source document, but as I cannot build anything in global space, I don't Actually, Jade builds the entire grove in memory, so two passes are not required. | see how I could associate elements via their attributes with information | I generate for one of the elements (the definition of the term) in | question. | | Any help would be greatly appreciated (I use xslj 0.4 with the latest | jade on NT to do my experiments). Thanks in advance. There are a couple of ways to make links in xslj that will work. One is nodeListAddress(). I've got an example of this in the tutorial that Paul Grosso and I gave at XML'98.
