RE: [xsl] List Item Query

["Sheryl Cia" <lyrehscg at hotmail dot com>]

Hi Joshua,

I've tried what you've stated below and it works.
However, i have another question.
How can i read the value inside '(' parenthesis?
When the value is either 'a' or 'i' i can properly render it as:
(a) Text 1....
(b) Text 1....
(c) Text 1....
or
(i) Text 1....
(ii) Text 1....
(iii) Text 1....

Please provide example. :)

Maybe your wondering where did i get such xml input.
Well, we've generate the xml based from the DTD.
And, as much as possible we do not want to change the DTD.

thanks for the help,
Sheryl
