Re: [xsl] Line Numbering

[Steve <subsume@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm... you could use substring() and a recursive template.

That's what I'd do.

I'd start it off by something like

<xsl:call-template name="para">
  <xsl:with-param name="lineNumber" select="1" />
  <xs:with-param name="para" select="$para" />
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="para">
<xsl:param name="lineNumber">1</lineNumber>
</xsl:param name="para" />
<output line='{$lineNumber}' text="substring($para,0,29)" />
<xsl:if test="test if length of $para is greater than 29" >
  <xsl:call-template name="para">

  <xsl:with-param name="lineNumber" select="$lineNumber + 1"/>
  <xsl:with-param name="para" select="substring($para,30)" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

...approximately.
