 Hi all,

Thank you for your excellent suggestions.  David, you were correct that
something else in this stylesheet (which I inherited) is interfering
with the execution of the xrefinline template.  I created a small test
XSL stylesheet with just the footnote and xrefinline templates, using
your solution, and it worked fine.

Wendell, thanks for the thorough explanation of and tips for using
xsl:number in stylesheets.  I will experiment more in getting the best
solution.

Best Regards,

Ann Marie

Hard to say what you are doing wrong without a source file 9you ought to
be able to make a 10 line source file with a 3 references to 2 footnotes
and not much else, for testing. and a stylesheet with just a couple of
templates to handle this.

First ignore the references and make sure that you get the correct
attributes on xsl:number so that the correct number appears on teh
footnote text.
Most likely <xsl:number level="any"/> is all you need for that, but you
may want other formats, etc.
then if when processing the footnote reference you first move to the
referenced footnote so that is the current node, then execute the smae
code (either by copying it or by applying the same template) then it
will necessarily generate the same number.

If you are getting different numbers then most likely they are being
generated by some other part of the stylehseet, and teh part you are
changing isn't being called.

David
