Hi,
I have the following template which is producing the output as shown.

Template: ( Suggested earlier by Sam .. in reply to my previous mail )

<xsl:template match="mml:mo[.='(']">

<xsl:variable name="moWithParen" select="count(preceding::mo[text() = '('])"/>
    <prompt><goto next = "{$moWithParen}"/></prompt>
    <prompt>&lt;/form&gt;</prompt>
    &lt;prompt&gt;
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;form name = "{$moWithParen}"&gt;</xsl:text>
        &lt;/prompt&gt;
</xsl:template>


Output:

<form name = "{$moWithParen}">

My problem is that I am unable to print the number.. I mean the output should be

<form name = "1">

Here it should print this line whenever my xml document matches <mo>'('</mo>

It should print the line <form name = "1"> Also the number should increment so that its always distinct.

In My XSLT if I use '<' and '>' instead of &lt; and &gt; then it gives me error because <form name = "1"> is not well formed output.

Please tell me how to get the result without error.

kindly help is needed

Thank you

HTH and could not test this, but try:

<xsl:variable name="moWithParen" select="count(preceding::mo[text() = '('])"/>
    <prompt><goto next = "{$moWithParen}"/></prompt>
    <prompt>&lt;/form&gt;</prompt><xsl:text>
    &lt;prompt&gt;
        &lt;form name = "</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$moWithParen"/><xsl:text>"&gt;
        &lt;/prompt&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

hi sam,
By using this technique the counter doesnt get incremented as required
it displays the <form name ="0"> always.

gs,

when I use the following stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <xsl:output method="html"/>

    <xsl:template match="*" priority=".1">

        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="mo[.='(']" priority="1">

        <xsl:variable name="moWithParen" select="count(preceding::mo[text() = '('])"/>

        <prompt><goto next = "{$moWithParen}"/></prompt>
        <prompt><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/form&gt;</xsl:text></prompt><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
        &lt;prompt&gt;
        &lt;form name = "</xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="$moWithParen"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">"&gt;
        &lt;/prompt&gt;</xsl:text>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

to transform the following XML:

<test>
    <mrow>
        <mi>erf</mi>
        <mo>#8289;</mo>
        <mo>(</mo>
        <mrow>
            <mi>a</mi>
            <mo>#8290;</mo>
            <mi>z</mi>
        </mrow>
        <mo>)</mo>
    </mrow>
    <mo>#8290;</mo>
    <mrow>
        <mi>erf</mi>
        <mo>#8289;</mo>
        <mo>(</mo>
        <mrow>
            <mi>b</mi>
            <mo>#8290;</mo>
            <mi>z</mi>
        </mrow>
        <mo>)</mo>
    </mrow>
    <mrow>
        <mi>erf</mi>
        <mo>#8289;</mo>
        <mo>(</mo>
        <mrow>
            <mi>a</mi>
            <mo>#8290;</mo>
            <mi>z</mi>
        </mrow>
        <mo>)</mo>
    </mrow>
    <mo>#8290;</mo>
    <mrow>
        <mi>erf</mi>
        <mo>#8289;</mo>
        <mo>(</mo>
        <mrow>
            <mi>b</mi>
            <mo>#8290;</mo>
            <mi>z</mi>
        </mrow>
        <mo>)</mo>
    </mrow>
</test>

I get the following output:

      <mo>)</mo>
   </mrow>
</test>

which looks to be incrementing fine in both places. You'll need to provide more information to debug your problem: what XSLT processor are you using? Can you provide the sample XML, XSL, and output you are getting?

hi,
       I was not including the namespace while matching the mo. I had to match mml:mo. Sam its working perfectly fine now. I have one more problem regarding this .. I was just numbering whenever I matched <mo>(</mo>. But, I dont want to number the consecutive <mo>(</mo> which are just seperated by one or more <mrow> or </mrow>. How should my condition be to achieve this condition.

Kindly help is appreciated
Thank you
gs

gs,

can you give a more specific example? i.e. provide some xml that gives you the "wrong" result when you transform it with your current stylesheet, and what you need as the right result.
