Hi David,
thanks a lot for this example. I took your input and created some
alternative approach:
<xsl:template match="*...@role='highlight']" priority="10">
<xsl:variable name="count">
<xsl:value-of
select="count(ancestor::node()[...@role='highlight'])"/>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:block>
<xsl:attribute name="background-color">
<xsl:choose>
<!-- first level -->
<xsl:when test="$count =
0">blue</xsl:when>
<!-- second level -->
<xsl:when test="$count =
1">green</xsl:when>
<!-- third level -->
<xsl:when test="$count =
2">purple</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>orange</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-imports />
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
I will test both approaches (yours and mine) with complex nestings of
elements with the role=highlight attribute. What do you think about?
Cheers, Tobias
