Subject: RE: [xsl] can I give xsl:number a starting position? From: "Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 09:33:28 +0100 |
I think you will have to do something along the lines of: <xsl:number value="count(ancestor::chapter/preceding-sibling::chapter)+$start-chapte r" format="1"/> <xsl:text>.</xsl:text> <xsl:number value="count(ancestor::h1/preceding-sibling::h1)+$start-h1" format="1"/> <xsl:text>.</xsl:text> <xsl:number value="count(ancestor::h2/preceding-sibling::h2)+$start-h2" format="A"/> etc. Michael Kay Software AG home: Michael.H.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx work: Michael.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Jeff Rosler > Sent: 04 September 2002 02:56 > To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [xsl] can I give xsl:number a starting position? > > > Hi All, > > I would like to use xsl:number to handle section numbering in > my document, but I need to tell it a section number to start > with (i.e. not 1).
