Re: [oXygen-user] Recursive Root Element In CSS

30 Mar 2013

      Thanks George!

That did the trick.  I wonder if it wasn't working because I didn't have a
standalone 'topic' declaration.  I am not sure why I couldn't get it to
work.  I have to work with CSS once every 5 years.  Much prefer XSLT or
XSL-FO!

As usual you are the greatest!!!  Hope everything is going well with you. 
Most of my time these days is working with Obamacare and NIEM (not a fan
of NIEM).

Hope to see you soon!

Thanks again!

Dear Betty,
Please find a working sample attached. I think the initial XML file in
your sample also had a few issues, having additional titles without a
topic element.
In any case, please see the attached sample and let me know if this helps.
Best Regards,
George

Hi all:
I am creating a CSS stylesheet to autonumber topics.
The structure of the document is recursive topics where topic is the
root
element:
<topic>
     <title>
     <topic>
        <title>
        <topic>
            <title>
The goal is to have
1. Title
    1.1 Title
       1.1.1 Title
Because the <topic> is the root element and recursive the numbering is
is being displayed as:
1. Title
    1.1 Title
       1.1.1 Title
    1.2 Title
       1.2.2
The third level and below numbers sequentially and doesn't reset.  I
tried
doing a reset-counter but then the numbers are always 1. I thought maybe
I
could use :root selector:
:root topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: section;
      content: counter(section) ". ";
    }
The CSS is valid but Oxygen ignores the counter and the number isn't
present.
I also looked for an Oxygen extension that might help derive the
hierarchy
from the top-level but wasn't able to find anything. I think it would
work
if there was a way to say 'this topic is the root element'.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Here is the CSS for the counters:
topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: section;
      content: counter(section) ". ";
    }
topic > topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: subsection;
      content: counter(section) "." counter(subsection) ". ";
    }
topic > topic > topic > title:before{
      counter-increment: subsection1;
      content: counter(section) "." counter(subsection) "."
counter(subsection1) ". ";
    }
TIA!
Betty
