RE: [xsl]Problem with Position()?

[Alice Ju-Hsuan Wei <ajwei@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Michael and all:

  Thanks, and when I "commented" out that line, it works. But, how am 
supposed to generate something like <p class="(some attribute"> 
followed by the text to format the content if I cannot use 
<xsl:call-template> here? The template portion is at the bottom.

Thanks again.

<xsl:template match="collection">
  <div><p/>
           <span class="character">
              <xsl:apply-templates select="id(@recorder)"/>
</span>
</div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="book">
<div>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="./@author"/>,
 <i><xsl:apply-templates select="./@title"/></i>.
  (<xsl:apply-templates select="./@topic"/>)
  [  <xsl:apply-templates/>]
          </div>
 </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="p">
      <xsl:choose>

          <xsl:when test="count(preceding-sibling::p) != 1">

              <xsl:call-template name="rend"/>
              <xsl:apply-templates/>

          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>

              <p>
                  <xsl:call-template name="rend"/>
                  <xsl:apply-templates/>
              </p>

          </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="rend">
       <xsl:attribute name="class">
           <xsl:value-of select="./@rend"/>
       </xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:template>
