Civil Report Browser: problem with stationing format options

Hi Mikko,

The report XSL themselves can be edited to provide stations/units to whatever you want. This may be the best option for what you need currently.

Yes. Currently the only available solution.

Thanks to Paul, my colleague, who provided few examples:

eg if the station is 10,000.000 then

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(number(Start/station/@externalStation),'##+###.000')"/>

will output 10+000.000

or

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(number(Start/station/@externalStation),'##km ###.000')"/>

will output 10km 000.000

or

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(number(Start/station/@externalStation),'#.000')"/>

will output 10000.000

Thanks Mark  and jpln !

I am not familiar with editing XSL and as I tried to put the above examples to the code, I couldn't get right results. As default, my code looks like this:

 <xsl:value-of select="cif:stationFormat(number(GeometryPoint/station/@externalStation), string(GeometryPoint/station/@externalStationName))"/>

I tried to put the "'##+###.000'" several different ways, but didn't have success. Below example:

<xsl:value-of select="cif:stationFormat(number(GeometryPoint/station/@externalStation),'##+###.000')"/>

What I am doing wrong here? It seems that xsl doesn't recognize hash symbol as a reference for the corresponding station values. 

Is there any "XSL for dummies" -guide specifically for OpenRoads/-Rail users?

Hi Mikko,

You are very close. Instead of:

<xsl:value-of select="cif:stationFormat(number(GeometryPoint/station/@externalStation),'##+###.000')"/>

change to:

<xsl:value-of select='format-number(number(GeometryPoint/station/@externalStation), "##+###.000")'/>

Thanks again, but still not showing right:

Just some misplaced symbols - updated previous post

More info on the format-number() function here: XSLT format-number() Function (w3schools.com) - This site is really good to learn generic XSLT

Thanks, but still no luck

If instead of the line "(GeometryPoint/station/@externalStation)", I put an actual number, I will get the right station values:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(number(10500),'##+###.000')"/>

So the problem lies in "number"-parameter? Where can I find the alignment's raw xml-document from which the xls finds the data?

You must check the xpath is good. GeometryPoint/station/@externalStation

The best is to check from the original xsl because there is no reason to change anything regarding the xpath if you just work on the formatting

"@externalstation" is the value you want to format and is found at GeometryPoint/station/. 

In the report browser you can check by using Tools/Show All.xsl

The externalStation value is zero at Tools/Show All.xsl and /raw-xml.xsl.
So that explains why the stations aren't showing up.  

The follow up question is why the values are zero? 
Stationing works just fine in the model and when alignment is annotated.
