FOSI enumerating at wrong level

[JeffStevenson]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to code around what I believe is a bug in Arbortext 6.0 when numbering list items. In short, Arbortext is continue the numbering from a sublist onto the next item in the parent list.

I'm trying to develop a workaround by adding a new counter for the sublist. However, my counter is enumerating at the wrong level.

Consider the following markup....

<amend>

<provbody>

<prov>

<subprov><label>1</label></subprov>

<subprov><label>2</label></subprov>

....</amend>

I want the subprov/label to increment. However, what I am seeing happen is the enumeration is occuring at the <amend> level instead. So...

<amend>

...<subprov><label>1</label>

<subprov><label>1</label>

</amend>

<amend>

...<subprov><label>2</label>

<subprov><label>2</label>

</amend>

My Xpath to set the counter is working correctly as this is not obstructing the list higher up in the XML. But I cannot see how to get FOSI to enumerate within the <amend>.

Here is my FOSI that is setting the counter.

<att>

<specval attname="gentext-only" attloc="system-var" attval="#ANY"/">

</att>

Thanks for any assistance!

Hi Jeff,

Your code does not appear to be using FOSI enumeration. The problem would seem to be with the ACL and/or XPath.

Here is the native FOSI coding for your markup:

<counter initial="0" enumid="labelct">


<e-i-c gi="label" context="subprov">
<charlist inherit="1">
<enumerat increm="1" enumid="labelct">
<usetext source="labelct" placemnt="before"></usetext>
</charlist>
</e-i-c>

<e-i-c gi="amend">
<charlist inherit="1">
<reset resetlist="labelct">
</charlist>
</e-i-c>

HTH.

Good luck!

Jeff,

[I was just about to send this and noticed Suzanne had sent out essentially the same solution. So let me just pile on.]


If your problem is simply about list numbering, then we pre-Styler FOSI jockeys would do that by using FOSI code like the following.

<counter initial="0" style="arabic" enumid="labelct">

<e-i-c gi="prov">
<charlist>
<reset resetlist="labelct">
</charlist>
</e-i-c>


<e-i-c gi="label" context="subprov">
<charlist>
<enumerat increm="1" enumid="labelct">
<usetext source="labelct">
</usetext>
</charlist>
</e-i-c>


[Or maybe instead of resetting labelct in the e-i-c for "prov" you'd want to do it in the one for "amend"?]
