Re: [xsl] Line Numbering

[Luke Jones <ljones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Thanks for responding so quickly.  I'm trying to use your idea with a
recursive call but I'm confused on a couple of things.  Firstly, on the
line "<output line='{$lineNumber}' text="substring($para,0,29)" />"  I
assume you meant <xsl:output>.  However, I don't think that <xsl:output>
can go in that particular spot.  It has to be a child to <stylesheet> or
<transform>.  That being said, its entirely possible that its my setup
that is causing this problem.  Would you object if I pasted my xsl in an
e-mail, and then you show me how to implement this into my existing code
if you have the time?
