Re: [xsl] __LINE__ equivalent in XSLT

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could implement the preprocessor easily enough if you are using 
Saxon. For example if you use <?line?> then you can write the 
preprocessor as

<xsl:template match="*">
  .. identity template ..
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction(line)">
<xsl:value-of select="saxon:line-number(.)"/>
</xsl:template>
