OK one more try ...DITA eh?All the element ids are stored in a key called "key_anchor". This is defined in links.xsl.Make sure your step actually has an id attribute in the MERGED XML. This sounds silly but if this is running through the DITA toolkit, strange things can happen.You want to put the <fo:inline> in your step template. task-elements.xsl<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' task/steps ')]/*[contains(@class, ' task/step ')]"><fo:inline id="{@id}"/>Then in your xref template, you should find the matching id in the key_anchor.Now you are truly pointing at the step and you get the page number or get it's count from the element "steps".Something like this:<fo:inline color="blue"><xsl:for-each select="key('key_anchor',@href)"><!-- Found the step with the matching id --><fo:basic-link internal-destination="{@id}"><!-- Or count step from steps --><xsl:text>See page </xsl:text><fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{$destination}"/></fo:basic-link></xsl:for-each></fo:inline>Hope this helps!

Well that posted incorrectly.Here it is again. --DITA eh? All the element ids are stored in a key called "key_anchor". This is defined in links.xsl. Make sure your step actually has an id attribute in the MERGED XML. This sounds silly but if this is running through the DITA toolkit, strange things can happen.You want to put the <fo:inline> in your step template. task-elements.xsl<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' task/steps ')]/*[contains(@class, ' task/step ')]"><fo:inline id="{@id}"/>Then in your xref template, you should find the matching id in the key_anchor. Now you are truly pointing at the step and you get the page number or get it's count from the element "steps". Something like this:<fo:inline color="blue"><xsl:for-each select="key('key_anchor',@href)"><!-- Found the step with the matching id --><fo:basic-link internal-destination="{@id}"><!-- Or count step from steps --><xsl:text>See page </xsl:text><fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{$destination}"/></fo:basic-link></xsl:for-each></fo:inline>Hope this helps!

<xsl:value-of select="count(./@*)"/>

When you use <xsl:value-of select="title"/> you are only pulling in the text - not processing the nodes. Try: <xsl:apply-templates select="title"/>

Here is one way without using multiple passes on the file. <xsl:template match="text()"><xsl:choose><xsl:when test="contains(.,'<CreditCardNumber>')"><!-- This is the CDATA that I want to mask and write back out as CDATA --> <xsl:variable name="tcontent"><xsl:value-of select="substring-after(substring-before(.,'</CreditCardNumber>'),'<CreditCardNumber>') "/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<CreditCardNumber></xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="maskVariable"> <xsl:with-param name="tvar" select="$tcontent"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"></CreditCardNumber>]]></xsl:text></xsl:when><xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy/></xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:template> <xsl:template name="maskVariable"> <xsl:param name="tvar"/> <xsl:variable name="length" select="string-length($tvar)"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$length > 3"> <xsl:value-of select="concat ('************', substring($tvar,$length - 1, 2))"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$length > 1">***</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise/> </xsl:choose></xsl:template>

That didn't post correctly. Here it is again: <xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="GetAmountDueResult"/> <xsl:template match="GetAmountDueResult"><xsl:copy><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/></xsl:copy></xsl:template >

Try this: [/size][size="2"] <xsl:output method="xml" [font="Courier New"][size="2"][font="Courier New"][size="2"]cdata-section-elements="GetAmountDueResult"[/size][/font][/size][/font][size="2"]/>[/size][/size][size="2"] <xsl:template match="GetAmountDueResult"><xsl:copy><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/></xsl:copy></xsl:template >[/size][size="2"]

I would use a recursive template but I'd love to see how others might do this. <xsl:template match="avg"/><xsl:template name="findAverage"> <xsl:param name="numlessons"/> <xsl:param name="pointer"/> <xsl:param name="total"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$pointer <= $numlessons"> <xsl:variable name="subtotal"> <xsl:value-of select="child::*[number($pointer)]"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="total"> <xsl:value-of select="number($subtotal) + number($total)"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:call-template name="findAverage"> <xsl:with-param name="numlessons" select="$numlessons"/> <xsl:with-param name="pointer" select="$pointer + 1"/> <xsl:with-param name="total" select="$total"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <!-- Divide total by numlessons --> <xsl:value-of select="$total div $numlessons"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose></xsl:template><xsl:template match="lessons"> <xsl:variable name="numlessons"> <xsl:value-of select="count(child::*)"/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="xaverage"> <xsl:call-template name="findAverage"> <xsl:with-param name="numlessons" select="$numlessons"/> <xsl:with-param name="pointer" select="1"/> <xsl:with-param name="total" select="0"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <xsl:element name="lessons"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:element> <xsl:text></xsl:text> <xsl:element name="avg"> <xsl:value-of select="$xaverage"/> </xsl:element></xsl:template>

If your input looks like this: <database><Record><Field ID="8131"><Value>1. Primary</Value></Field><Field ID="8132"><Value>Robert Crane</Value></Field></Record><Record><Field ID="8131"><Value>2.

The file can be converted to nested xml easier with non-xml based tools like perl and flex (in my opinion). However, if you must use XSLT here is what I use to convert a database file to html.

Consider passing both the string and the node-set to your mark-up template. (XSLT 2 only) If you need to use XSLT 1.0, you can use the exsl:node-set function. <xsl:template name="List" match="li"> <xsl:variable name="lnodes"> <li><xsl:copy-of select="node()"/></li></xsl:variable> <xsl:call-template name="markup"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/> <xsl:with-param name="phrases" select="document('../../documents/main/keywords.xml')/keywords/keyword"/> <xsl:with-param name="first-only" select="false()"/> <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$lnodes"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> Now in your markup template you have the variable $text with the string "Make this bold" to compare for keywords and the nodes to print out when time. <xsl:apply-templates select="$lnodes"/> I hope that makes sense.

Have you tried <fo:block-container> with reference-orientation attribute?

You could do it this way: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"><xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//prime"/></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="prime"> <xsl:apply-templates select="note"/></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="note"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@style='tt'"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="tt"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="@style='sms'"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="sms"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose></xsl:template><xsl:template match="note/rss/channel" mode="tt"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item" mode="tt"></xsl:template><xsl:template match="note/rss/channel" mode="sms"> <xsl:apply-templates select="item" mode="sms"></xsl:template><xsl:template match="item" mode="tt"><item> <title> <xsl:value-of select="title"/> </title> <description> <xsl:value-of select="description"/> </description> <pubDate> <xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/> </pubDate></item></xsl:template><xsl:template match="item" mode="sms"><item> <title> <xsl:value-of select="title"/> </title> <pubDate> <xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/> </pubDate></item></xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
