Hello,

I have a book title like this "AA<superscript>2</superscript>BB".
I have my own footer where this book title should appear at center. I have
the following xsl-code:

<xsl:when test="($sequence = 'odd' or $sequence = 'even') and $position =
'center'">
<xsl:value-of select="ancestor-or-self::book/title">
</xsl:when>

Works also fine but the superscript is removed. I think the reason is the
"ancestor-or-self".
Please give me a hint how can I insert the book title in the footer with
the footer.

Thanks in advance
Steffen


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Steffen Köhler

Hi,

I understand, there is no value with the book title: Here is the code that
work perfectly:

<xsl:template match="book/title" mode="footer">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
...
<xsl:when test="($sequence = 'odd' or $sequence = 'even') and
$position = 'center'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor-or-self::book/title"
mode="footer" />
</xsl:when>

Thanks
Steffen

You need to use <xsl:apply-templates/> instead of <xsl:value-of/> as
<xsl:value-of/> always returns string value of expression -- any nested
markup is ignored.
