RE: [xsl] XSLT transformation using counters

[Bubba O'Reily <killswi7ch1@xxxxxxxx>]

I want to export XML. There are other elements I also neeed to replace in the
file. If I output method="text" then those disappear in the output. For
example <a href="??">...</a>

I'm getting alot closer but how do I decrement the counter when a heading
appears outside of a </lev>. See example input, output & code below. Note the
output on the following lines:

<ParaStyle:hd4>Level 3
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd4>Level 2
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd4>Level 1
<ParaStyle:para>para text

The <ParaStyle:hd?> is not correct. I need to decrement the counter so when a
</lev> occurs the appropriate counter is used.

Should be:


<ParaStyle:hd3>Level 3
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd2>Level 2
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd1>Level 1
<ParaStyle:para>para text




Input:
------

<lev>
<heading>Level 1</heading>
<para>para text</para>
<heading>Level 1A</heading>
<para>para text</para>
 <lev>
  <heading>Level 2</heading>
  <para>para text</para>
  <heading>Level 2A</heading>
  <para>para text</para>
  <heading>Level 2B</heading>
  <para>para text</para>
  <lev>
   <heading>Level 3</heading>
   <para>para text</para>
   <lev>
    <heading>Level 4</heading>
    <para>para text</para>
    <heading>Level 4A</heading>
    <para>para text</para>
    <heading>Level 4B</heading>
    <para>para text</para>
   </lev>
   <heading>Level 3</heading>
   <para>para text</para>
  </lev>
  <heading>Level 2</heading>
  <para>para text</para>
 </lev>
 <heading>Level 1</heading>
 <para>para text</para>
</lev>




Output Required:
----------------


<ParaStyle:lev>
<ParaStyle:hd1>Level 1
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd1>Level 1A
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:lev>
<ParaStyle:hd2>Level 2
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd2>Level 2A
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd2>Level 2B
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:lev>
<ParaStyle:hd3>Level 3
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:lev>
<ParaStyle:hd4>Level 4
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd4>Level 4A
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd4>Level 4B
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd3>Level 3
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd2>Level 2
<ParaStyle:para>para text
<ParaStyle:hd1>Level 1
<ParaStyle:para>para text


Code:
-----

 <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
  <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="lev">
  <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&#13;&#10;&lt;ParaStyle:lev&gt;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="heading">
  <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&#13;&#10;&lt;ParaStyle:hd</xsl:text>
  <xsl:number level="any" count="lev"/>
  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&gt;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="para">
  <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&#13;&#10;&lt;ParaStyle:para&gt;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </xsl:template>
