Hi
I want to be able to work out how deep a given <title> is in a document. In
the schema, <title> is always a direct descendant of a <section>. Given the
following:
<collection>
<section>
<title>1</title>
<title>2</title>
</section>
<section />
<section>
<title>3</title>
<title>4</title>
<section>
<title>5</title>
</section>
</section>
</collection>
Title 1 and 2 are at level 1. Title 3 and 4 are at level 1. Title 5 is at
level 2.
I have tried:
<xsl:template match="title" mode="DoIt">
<xsl:param name="Depth" select="count(ancestor::*[section])" />
<xsl:value-of select="$Depth" />
<xsl:apply-templates mode="DoIt" />
</xsl:template>
But it doesn't seem to be working. What am I missing?
Chris
