RE: [xsl] XSLT transformation using counters

[Bubba O'Reily <killswi7ch1@xxxxxxxx>]

ok. I'm not sure which one to use in my case. Using the below as an example:


  <xsl:variable name="counter">
   <xsl:number level="single" format="1" />
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:element name="hd{$counter}">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&gt;</xsl:text>


In the output file I actually need to generate the following. In this case
probably in
this case the <xsl:output method="text" is the way to go?


<PStyle:hd1>
<PStyle:hd2>

etc.

Not just

<hd1>

<hd2>

etc.
