I am using <xsl:number count=""> to generate series and subseries links
for the TOC and the DSC portion of my finding aids. (I am partial to
the "count" function rather than the random id option because it looks
cleaner and is more intelligible to the user, but I can be persuaded
otherwise.)
Here's my problem. The c02 links in the TOC do indeed jump to the body
of the DSC, but they only jump to the subseries in the first series.
So, for example, if I click "3.6" in the TOC, it jumps to "1.6" in the
finding aid. I think there's some sort of nesting problem here.
It's been suggested that I post some of my code to show you all what I'm
working with.
Below is the way my code for generating c01 and c02 links currently
looks for the Table of Contents list. I have added the text "THIS LINE
SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM--->" where I think I need to change something.
***<!--C01 AND C02 LINKS-->
<xsl:for-each select="archdesc/dsc/c01[@level='series' or
@level='subseries'
or @level='subgrp' or @level='subcollection']">
<p>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>#series</xsl:text>
<xsl:number count="c01" from="dsc"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="did/unittitle/unitdate">
<xsl:for-each
select="did/unittitle">
<xsl:value-of
select="text()"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="./unitdate"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="did/unittitle"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="did/unitdate"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</a>
</p>
<xsl:for-each select="c02[@level='subseries']">
<p style="margin-left:15pt">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>#subseries</xsl:text>
THIS LINE SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM---> <xsl:number count="c02"
from="dsc"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="did/unittitle/unitdate">
<xsl:for-each
select="did/unittitle">
<xsl:value-of
select="text()"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="./unitdate"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="did/unittitle"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="did/unitdate"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</a>
</p>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
<!--END CO1 AND C02 LINKS-->***
Now, here's my c02 code in the DSC. Note that, because our library's
stylesheet does weird things with any <a> tag, I have replaced the
normal <a name="subseries"> referent with an "id='subseries'" attribute.
No big thing.
***<xsl:template name="c02-level">
<xsl:for-each select="did">
<tr valign="top">
<td> </td>
<td colspan="7">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:text>subseries</xsl:text>
THIS LINE SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM---> <xsl:number from="dsc"
count="c02"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:call-template
name="component-did"/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>***
Thanks! Sorry to keep gumming up the listserv.
Best,

Jordon,
I think it would be a good idea for you to post some of your code.

Thanks, Michele. I like the "count" option, and it works fine for the
c01 tags, but any idea how to achieve that differentiation among c02
tags? Basically, right now all it's doing is jumping to the first set
of subseries, no matter which subseries link I click on in the TOC.
Thanks,
Jordon

Hi Jordon --
It's a two-part process; you didn't mention which part you need, so
here's both. Part 1 is making sure that the c01s and c02s in the body
of the inventory have an ID to link to; this is done in the dsc# style
sheet. Part 2 is adding a listing in the TOC that links to the correct
IDs; that's done in the eadcbs# style sheet. IDs can be fixed (via use
of the id attribute in EAD) or generated during transformation; the
former is obviously more reliable.
The code for part 1, inserting the ID in the body of the inventory
resides in whatever dsc style sheet you're using and looks something
like this for fixed IDs:
<xsl:if test="@id">
<a id="{@id}">
(blah blah, usually unittitle goes here)
</a>
</xsl:if>
Part 2, putting the listing in the TOC, is done something like so for
fixed IDs:
<xsl:for-each select="archdesc/dsc/c01[@level='series' or
@level='subseries'] or archdesc/dsc/c02[@level='subseries']">
<p>
<b>
<a href="#{@id}">
(blah blah, usually unittitle goes here)
</a>
<b>
</p>
There is a generate-id function that will create ids during
transformation:
<a href="#{generate-id(.)}">
but it can be problematic for a couple of reasons. First, since the IDs
are recreated every time you run a transformation you don't know what
they'll be at the time you're creating the TOC. Second, if you have any
internal links to c01s or c02s, you won't know what href to use in your
EAD since the IDs haven't yet been generated and may be different each
time.
If you're really set on generating IDs during transformation, a more
reliable way is to generate IDs by counting the number of c01s/c02s,
something like this:
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>#series</xsl:text>
<xsl:number count="c01" from="dsc"/> </xsl:attribute>
This will work easily for c01s since there's only one set of c01 tags at
the top level, but you'd have to somehow differentiate between the c02s
that are children of different c01s.
Caveat: if you're employing that feature that automatically links lists
in the <arrangement> element to their respective inventory items (in
eadcbs9 it's the section that begins "<!-- The next three templates
format a list within an arrangement..."), that uses the "count" function
and switching to the fixed-id method will require repairs to that
feature.
