Re: [xsl] converting to an <ol>

["Vasu Chakkera" <vasucv at hotmail dot com>]

The following is your solution
1. create a File in your system called entityref.dtd and define all the 
entities you want to use in that( in your specific case you may want to use 
the space. this would eleminate your definition of entities in the XSL Code)
so your file would have a definition of space
<!ENTITY space "&#160;" ><!-- space -->
2. now refer to this file in your doctype definition of your XSL file

The following is the XSL Code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet SYSTEM "d:\entityref.dtd">
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output  method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//seqlist/item">
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::seqlist"> <!--to count the no of spaces -->
<xsl:if test="not(position() = 1)">
<!-- This is to make sure that the first parent set of elements starts 
without space and the subsequent children wil have space based on the 
positiuon of the element.. that is.. if it is 3rd child you have 
NoOfSpaces*3 no of spaces.. where noOfSpaces is the indent length unit . 
here will have 12 spaces as one Indent Unit -->
&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;&space;
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:number count="item" format="1" level="multiple"/><xsl:value-of 
select="text()"/><br></br>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have tested this with XALAN . and it works.

HOPE THIS HELPS
