Hi, Jan, It's possible in XSL. There are a number of ways to do it. Here's one: <fo:page-sequence master-reference="contents" initial-page-number="1" format="i"> I use that line in my FO files that have tables of contents. That way, I get lower-case Roman numerals in the tables of contents. You can get a, b, c... instead of i, ii, iii... by using format="a" rather than format="i". This assumes that FOP supports this feature of XSL. Also, note that this feature is defined in the XSLT specification, since it's a transformation. The relevant chunk of the specification is 7.7.1 Number to String Conversion Attribute The FOP compliance page says the format property has not been implemented. See http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-format However, converting to Roman numerals is a type of number-to-string conversion (as defined by both the spec and common sense), and that works. So try format="a" Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
