how to get the line number of the context node?

[Ovidiu Predescu <ov...@cup.hp.com>]

Hi,

With Saxon I can get the line number of the context node in the source
document using the saxon:line-number() function. Is there an
equivalent function for Xalan?

Thanks,

The line number of source nodes is not saved. I made a modification to
XalanSourceTreeContentHandler to keep a map of XalanNodes and line numbers.
It works reasonably nicely.

I can't see anywhere in the stree DOM implementation where the line
number of a Node is retained for retrieval.  So, if it isn't stored in
the first place, I'm not sure how we'd implement such a function in
Xalan.
