xsl:number again
I have raised this before, but forgot about it until recently.
Consider the input:
<div><div><div><div><div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
and the XSLT:
<xsl:template match="div">
<xsl:number level="multiple" format="1.1.1.1.1.1.1"/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
and the result:
1.
1.1.
1.1.1.
1.1.1.1.
1.1.1.1.1.
1.1.1.1.1.1
The point being that I cannot reliably suppress the trailing "." on
numbers. What I want is numbers separated by "." punctuation, but with
nothing at the end. I *could* use a choose statement to see how
deeply nested I am, and use a different format at each level, but
surely that should not be needed?
Saxon and XT do what I want, Oracle and libxslt don't.
