Troubleshooting Procedures MIL-STD-40051-2B Help!

[cramsey]

Hi All,

I am new to XML development (the boss thru me in the deep end this is my first document)   I am  stuck trying to create a troubleshooting procedure (tswp)  type "Method A" IAW 40051-2b. Nothing I do seems to produce the output that the contract requires.  I have attached a PDF shown what tags I am using ( first two pages) followed by the generated "output"  and the final page is what the content should be.

I am unsure why the procedure steps re- start again every time a new block starts.  According to the reference manual the steps should be shown as 1 thru to XX  without restarting again.

Any guidance / help from you gurus will be greatly appreciated.

XML DTD and and XSL's  are US Gov (Army) provided  Version 5  and MIL- STD  is 40051-2B   (That's what the contract calls for)   I know there are issues with this version of  styles sheets etc.

Cheers

Does this help?

Thanks for the reply and code  Michael,

however does not work as required,    I stripped out your text  and replaced it by letters to make it easier to highlight the issue that I am having,  I have also attached a pdf of the generated output to help me explain  the problem.

  "Step 1 (branch 1)"   Shows that the "A" is replicated twice and the same as "Step 2 (branch 2)" with the "E and F" also been replicated.- However this is only entered into the xml data once

The other problem  is that the numbering IAW with 40051 -2b -Appendix D Mehtod A (extract attached) shows that the numbering sequence is numerical  Ie start at number one and continuing through until the end of the procedure and does not  recommence with the start of each new branch.

Chris,

I cannot explain the "doubles" you mentioned either. Your coding seems OK. It could be that whatever is rendering your XML is the problem.

On one Army program we were forced to use Method A, but the Composer/stylesheet would not/could not render the code to look like the example in Appendix D.

If you figure the problem out, let me know. I am sorry I am not much help except to say your coding looks OK.

Hi Chris

I was going to suggest stylesheets. I ran a tswp we had and my output looked very similar to what you got in your first page sample. So maybe you need to investigate the style sheet your are running which is what really controls the look and feel of the document. I manage the styles and xsl but not the authoring but I could check to see what other options you might have based on what we were delivered.
