You can for example use
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/matchers/wildcarduri-matcher.html
to extract the page number from the request URI:
<map:match pattern="page_*.html">
<map:generate .../>
...
<map:transform type="filter">
<map:parameter name="element-name" value="row"/>
<map:parameter name="count" value="10"/>
<map:parameter name="blocknr" value="{1}"/>
</map:transform>
</map:serialize>
</map:match>
A request for page_5.html will pass blocknr the value 5.
HTH, Alfred.

>HI All,
>
>I posted this quesion a week ago but I did not get any
>response, here it is again, it would be appreciated if
>anyone has an idea:
>
>I have got a long HTML page generated from a pipeline.
>My problem is that I do not want to view all content
>at once (because it is too long).
>I have used the filter transformer which was great
>since it helped in dividing the content into blocks
>and then I could choose the appropriate number of
>blocks to be displayed.
>
>The page after using the filter transformer looks
>similar to something like:
>
><page>
><block id= "1">
><block id= "2">
><block id= "3">
><block id= "4">
>...
>...
> </page>
>
>The problem now if I want to display to each block on
>a separate page I would need four pipelines. What if
>there are 20 blocks, do I need to have 20 pipeline?
>
>I read on the Cocoon documentation that it is possible
>to make the values of the count and blocknr properties
>as parameters and then pass their values through an
>action, but to be honest I do not know how to do it!
>
>Hints, ideas or maybe using different techniques would
>be appreciated.
