If I have some data:
<head>
<text> blah blah </text>
<text> etc </text>
<text> yadda yadda </text>
</head>
And I want to generate this output:
<head>
<item>
<label>1</label>
<text> blah blah </text>
</item>
<item>
<label>2</label>
<text> etc </text>
</item>
<item>
<label>3</label>
<text> yadda yadda </text>
</item>
</head>
Obviously I can do this:
<xsl:template match="text">
<item>
<label>
<xsl:value-of select="position()" />
</label>
<text>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</text>
</item>
</xsl:template>
, but only if I strip whitespace so that position() doesn't pick it up
whitespace nodes.
How can I preserve whitespace and still output the correct label number,
without resorting to: <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::text +
1)" /> ?
Thanks,
M@
