Example 2-6

The example demonstrates creating a table of contents. However it used <fo:page-number/> which will
produce incorrect results. <fo:page-number-citation ref-id=""/> should be used.

The example NOW READS:

<xsl:template name="toc">
<xsl:for-each select="//section">
<fo:block text-align-last="justify"><xsl:value-of
select="head"/> <fo:leader
leader-pattern="dots"/> <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{@id}"/>
<xsl:for-each select="section">
<fo:block text-align-last="justify" text-indent="2em"><xsl:value-of
select="head"/> <fo:leader
leader-pattern="dots"/> <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{@id}"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
