I have a feeling this requires a psuedo element but I wanted to check. I
have this rough XML content
<manual type="checklist">
<step>
<challenge>text here</challenge><response>response here</response>
</step>
<step>
<response>response here</response>
</step>
</manual>
So I want to control the formatting of <response> based upon the following:
- attribute type on <manual>
- if <response> is precedded with a <challenge>
I'm able to control the formatting based upon the attribute value (by
itself) and I'm able to modify a counter (thanks Paul Nagai) that resets
on <step> to 0 and increments when <challenge> is found. If challenge is
not 0 then I have my flag to control formatting that way.
Is the best solution to drop a pseudo element in after the <challenge> and
then place the check of the attribute value on this psudo element? I want
the special formatting to be removed if <challege> doesn't exist.
I have 3 results I'm trying to achieve
challenge text -- response text
challenge text ..... response text (right justified)
response text
So in the first case I have a long dash but the text will be produced as a
paragraph. The second case I will separate the challenge from the response
and right justify (also block it to only a portion of the column width).
The last case the text will just format like a para.
Any other techniques I might use?
