extending the stylesheet

If you're not wild about unordered lists you can redefine either the ListOneRel or ListOneRev templates in your stylesheet.

These are called by the ListAllLinks template for each disctinct link/@rev or link/@rel grouping.

This is an example of how to modify the template to create a "horizontal" navigation menu for your forward links.


# prints a menu in the form of 
# [title|title][title]

<xsl:template name = "ListOneRel">

 <!-- this is a string containing the
      value of the @rel attribute, not 
      a node -->
 <xsl:param name = "rel" />

 <span>
  <xsl:attribute name = "class">
   rel-link-<xsl:value-of select = "$rel" />
  </xsl:attribute>

  [<xsl:for-each 
        select = "/h:html/h:head/h:link[@rel = $rel]">
    <span>
     <xsl:attribute name = "class">
      rel-item
     </xsl:attribute>
     <a>
      <xsl:attribute name = "href">
       <xsl:value-of select = "@href" />
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name = "title">
       <xsl:value-of select = "@title" />
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:value-of select = "@title" />
     </a> 

     <xsl:variable name = "count" value-of =
          "count(/h:html/h:head/h:link[@rel = $rel])" />

     <xsl:if test = "position() &lt; $count">|</xsl:if>
    </span> 
   </xsl:for-each>]
  </span>

</xsl:template>
