Another easiest way is to use our good friend, the much-maligned but
faithful xsl:for-each, as in
<xsl:template match="group">
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::group">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>GROUP-LEVEL
<xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
and do the same in the template matching "field" to get them indented too.
(Put the for-each in a named template if you have to use it alot.)
This would work, wouldn't it Jeni? It's kind of a refinement of the
count(ancestor::*) technique.
Cheers,
Wendell
