RE: [xsl] Problem with Xpath

[cknell@xxxxxxxxxx]

You are still describing your output instead of showing it. Please don't ask me to decipher your description in order to re-create what the output should look like. Please send an example (NOT a description) of the output. That means I want to see XML, not:
=====================================
1. First level
  A. some text
2. Second level

That is, the style sheet formats these levels 1 thru 6
with the following 1, A, (1), (a), 1) , a)

So if l3's conditions match, then it should be counted
as level 2 and not as level3. Hence level 3 should
have 'A.' and not (1).

But the actual output is:
1. First level
    (1) some text
2. Second level

Also, if suppose the parameters are chnged to Target
and Pen, then the desired output is:

1. Second level
================================

So, try again. Send examples of the XML you now get and the XML you want to get and I'll take a crack at it.

Thanks a lot for your help so far.
The XML looks like this:
<root>

<l1>
			<text>
				<para>First level</para>
			</text>
			<info>
				<comp>Kmart</comp>
				<prod>Shoes</prod>
			</info>
			<l2>
			<text>
				<para>Second level .</para>
			</text>
<l3>
<text>
				<para>some text</para>
			</text>
			<info>
				<comp>Kmart</comp>
				<prod>Shoes</prod>
			</info>

</l3>
			</l2>
		</l1>
		<l1>
			<text>
				<para>Second level</para>
				<info>
				<comp>Kmart</comp>
				<prod>Shoes</prod>
			</info>
			</text>
		</l1>
			<l1>
			<text>
				<para>Third level</para>
				<info>
				<comp>Target</comp>
				<prod>Pen</prod>
			</info>
			</text>
		</l1>
</root>

I am passing the parameters company and product to the
style sheet. If company=Kmart and product = SHoes the
output should be:


1. First level
  A. some text
2. Second level

That is, the style sheet formats these levels 1 thru 6
with the following 1, A, (1), (a), 1) , a)

So if l3's conditions match, then it should be counted
as level 2 and not as level3. Hence level 3 should
have 'A.' and not (1).

But the actual output is:
1. First level
    (1) some text
2. Second level

Also, if suppose the parameters are chnged to Target
and Pen, then the desired output is:

1. Second level

Instead, I now get,

2. Second level

The XSLT is:

<xsl:template match="l1">
<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test=".//info">
				<xsl:if test=".//info/company=$company and
.//info/product=$product">
					<fo:list-block>
						<fo:list-item>
							<fo:list-item-label>
								<fo:block>
									<xsl:number format="1"/>
								</fo:block>
							</fo:list-item-label>
							<fo:list-item-body>
								<fo:block>
									<xsl:apply-templates/>
								</fo:block>
							</fo:list-item-body>
						</fo:list-item>
					</fo:list-block>
				</xsl:if>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
			<!-- Do something else-->
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>

This template repeats for all 6 levels.
