Hi all,
When processing tags for footnotes in my documents I need to re-numerate
them, so that the first one that appears is 1, then 2, ... etc. The original
numbering can´t be used since a web page can contain more then one page of
the original source, and thus more than one footnote number 1, 2 and etc.
The footnote tag can appear almost anywhere in my document:
/doc/source/footnote
/doc/text/heading/footnote
/doc/text/p/footnote
...
<footnote value="FOOTNOTE_TEXT">ORIGINAL_NUMBER<footnote/>
FOOTNOTE_TEXT is printed at the bottom of the page.
ORIGINAL_NUMBER is not used.
<xsl:number/> seem to be what I need but its not implemented yet.
<xsl:template match="footnote">
<SUP><FONT SIZE="-1">
<A NAME="#BODY{ ??????? }">
<A HREF="#FOOT{ ??????? }"> <!-- jump to the footnote text at bottom of
page -->
<xsl:number/> <!-- doesn't work! -->
</A></A>
</FONT></SUP>
</xsl:template>
I use position() to solve this when the footnote-text is printed at the
bottom of the page.
<xsl:template match="doc">
...
<OL>
<xsl:for-each select="//footnote">
<LI>
<A NAME="#FOOT{position()}">
<A HREF="#BODY{position()}"> <!-- jump up into main text -->
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
</A></A>
</LI>
</xsl:for-each>
</OL>
...
</xsl:template>
This seems to be such a simple problem, yet I have been unable to find a
solution to it.
All help would be most welcome. :)
