Re: [xsl] XHTML table of contents with XSLT

["Daniel K. Schneider" <Daniel.Schneider@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanx for your help :)

Thanx a lot, that did it.
Sorry for this, I forgot that XSLT also has functions, I just spent time going 
through the XPath spec :(

(2) David Carlisle told me to replace the ugly "*[local-name()='xxx']" by "h:xxx"
but then I run into namespace problems (this why I put them there in the first 
place). Of course it's likely that I did something wrong again but I tried 
several combinations. If you have another 3 minutes to spare, could you
look at bad files below. I think I did as you told... Main problem is a wrong
namespace declaration:
html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
     xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>

Good:

http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-toc.xsl

Bad:
http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-sample-bad.xml
http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-toc-bad.xsl
http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-sample-bad2.xml
http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-toc-bad2.xsl

Note: If I batch process the files and name output as *.html they will show of 
course, but are not valid....

(3) I then tried to number chapters. Sort of works, but then Firefox (both 1.5 
on Linux and 2.0 on Win take like MINUTES (!) when files get bigger and I have
good hardware).
For once, no problem with IE 6 :) ... nor Saxon of course.

Works only with small files:
http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-sample-numered.xml
http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/examples/xsl-toc/xhtml-toc-numbered.xsl

Is something like this bad ? (thanx for any help !!)
(the full code is in the above small xhtml-toc-numbered.xsl sample and works 
with small files)

<xsl:template match="*[local-name()='h2']" mode="toc">
  <span style="font-size:small;">
    <xsl:text> &#160;&#160;' </xsl:text>
    <xsl:number level="any" from="*[local-name()='body']"
                count="*[local-name()='h1']"/>
    <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
    <xsl:number level="any" from="*[local-name()='h1']"
                count="*[local-name()='h2']"/>
    <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
    <a href="#h2_{generate-id(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
  </span>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[local-name()='h2']">
  <h2><a name="h2_{generate-id(.)}">
    <xsl:text> &#160;&#160;' </xsl:text>
    <xsl:number level="any" from="*[local-name()='body']" 
count="*[local-name()='h1']"/>
    <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
    <xsl:number level="any" from="*[local-name()='h1']" 
count="*[local-name()='h2']"/>
    <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="."/></a> (<a href="#toc">&#171;up</a>)</h2>
</xsl:template>
