Subject: [xsl] Pick up generated numbering for cross reference using key? From: "Cas Tuyn" <Cas.Tuyn@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 14:13:54 +0100 |
Hi, My tables have double-digit numbering generated from the section number as a variable, and the calculated sequence inside the section: <xsl:template match="table"> <xsl:param name="secnum" /> <xsl:variable name="tabnum"> <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding::table)+1" /> </xsl:variable> ... lines left out ... <caption> Table <xsl:value-of select="$secnum" />.<xsl:value-of select="$tabnum" /> <xsl:value-of select="title" /> </caption> </xsl:template> This works good. Now I'm trying to make cross references to those tables. I've searched the xsl archives and found a 2001 thread where it was suggested to either calculate it again (impossible because of the section-part being a variable), or store it in a key value. The latter method reminds me of arrays in other languages, so I thought it was the right direction. Using the 'XSLT programmers reference' it appears that: 1. you can only use xsl:key immediately under the root of the document, 2. put existing text or attribute values (not generated) in there. I was hoping to insert: <xsl:key name="table-number" match="@id" use="$secnum . $tabnum" /> immediately below the variable definition shown above, but that returned "Unexpected child" due to rule #1 not observed. The XML code for origin and target of the link: <xref role="table" linkend="csrh026a.dia-6"/> <table id="csrh026a.dia-6"> The XSLT for the origin of the link: <xsl:template match="xref"> <xsl:for-each select="@linkend"> <xsl:variable name="linkend" select="."/> <xsl:element name="a"> <xsl:attribute name="href">#<xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:for-each select="../@role"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="(.='table')"> table x.x </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:element> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> The "x.x" should be the number of the table where I refer too. Questions: 1. Is this a good way of doing this? 2. Is there a better way using XSLT 1.0 Regards, Cas -- The information contained in this communication and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged, and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
