Re: [xsl] line numbering

Hi James,

I hope this template helps -

<xsl:template match="/body">
   <xsl:for-each select="div">
     <xsl:for-each select="lg/l">
       <xsl:variable name="linenumber">
         <xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when test="(position() mod 5) =
0">5</xsl:when>
           <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of
select="position() mod 5" /></xsl:otherwise>
         </xsl:choose>
       </xsl:variable>
       <span class="line" id="line{$linenumber}">
         <xsl:value-of select="." /><span
class="number"><xsl:value-of select="$linenumber"
/></span>
       </span>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Regards,
Mukul
