Hi,

I'm trying to number the lines of multiple paragraphs.

For example:
xml--
<bill>
...
<para>
FOR AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; to amend sections 28-101,
28-201 and 28-932, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2004; to
change provision relating to assault by a confined person; to create the
offense of assault...(etc)
</para>

I would need xsl code that makes the output look like so...

1       FOR AN ACT relating to crimes and offenses; to amend sections
2       28-101, 28-201 and 28-932, Revised Statutes Cumulative
3       Supplement, 2004; to change provision relating to assault by a
4       confined person; to creat the offense of assault...(etc)

Can anyone help me with this?  I just getting my feet wet with xsl, any
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Luke
