Thank you Michael. I took your advice and used a series of <xsl:number>
instructions so I don't have to use the zero-width space.

I don't think this can be achieved directly; you'll need to use some
workaround. For example, generate the number as A#1 and then post-process to
strip out the '#'. Alternatively, I sometimes find it works better not to
use level=multiple, and instead use a series of calls to xsl:number for the
individual levels.

Hi,

 

I am using xsl:number to format some sections. Here is my instruction:

 

<xsl:number level="multiple" count="part|subpart" format="A1"/>

 

I want my subparts to number A1, A2, A3, etc. Instead, I get A.A, A.B, A.C.

 

<xsl:number level="multiple" count="part|subpart" format="A&#x200b;1"/>

 

If I add a zero-width space to the format, I get the desired result, but I
want to know if this is necessary. I am using XSLT 2 and Saxon 9. Thank you
very much.

 

Rick
