[xep-support] Re: fo:list-block Automatic Numbering

[Darren Munt]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the tip. I was hoping to avoid doing a second transform, only because it means a fair bit of change to my existing workflow. Worth considering though. I think I can get it working how I want a different way with some conditional XSL. I was just hoping for a function like label-end() but if not available I'll work out another way.

Cheers.

Remember that an XSL-FO file is an XML file, so you can write XSLT to transform your XSL-FO without item labels into XSL-FO with item labels ... and then format your result.

I hope this helps.
