Re: [xsl] problem with proper counting

["Andreas Putscher" <andreasputscher at gmx dot at>]

Thanks I have been able to solve this problem, but know I have another one:
Each page should have a link to the next page and to the previous page, like
this:

<h1>set1</h1>
  <a href="#1-1">page1</a></br>
  <a href="#1-2">next page</a></br>
(no previous page in here)

  <a href="#1-2">page2</a></br>
  <a href="#1-3">next page</a></br>
  <a href="#1-1">previous page</a></br>

  <a href="#1-3">page3</a></br>
....
</set>

<h1>set2</h1>
   <a href="#2-1">page4</a></br>
....
<a href="#2-2">page5</a></br>
.....
</set>

The problem occurs when I want to create a link to a page of another set
like with page 3 and 4. I think I would have to know the number of pages
each set contains in advance. That`s what my template rule is like right
now:

<xsl:for-each select="slideshow/set">
   <xsl:variable name="slideSetPosition" select="position()" />
   <xsl:for-each select="page">
       <p><b><a>
   <xsl:attribute name="name"><xsl:value-of
select="$slideSetPosition"/>-<xsl:value-of select="position()"
/></xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
   </a></b></p>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </xsl:for-each>
     </xsl:for-each>

I would be grateful for an answer,
Andreas
