RE: Equivalent of a Global Counter

[Bassi Suk <bassi dot s at mellon dot com>]

Michael,

I have a similar problem.

Does a two-pass transformation involve having on stylesheets applied to the
XMLSource and another stylesheet applied to the resultant XML Document? Or
can it be encapsulated in the same stylesheet?

Thanks.

Suk.
