Description Darcy 2012-02-22 14:17:45 UTC 
I find libxslt's / xsltproc's implementation of saxon:line-number() to be very useful and would appreciate having saxon:column-number() implemented too.

I can use saxon's excellent XSLT processor to get this capability.  But I prefer xsltproc because it starts up and runs the transforms quicker. And I need saxon:column-number().  (It's for an XSLT ctags generator.)

I am hoping it will be quick for someone who understands the code base to reference the saxon:line-number() implementation in libexslt/saxon.c and implement a similar saxon:column-number() extension function for me.

Thanks

This would be easy to implement if libxml2 stored each node's column number, but unfortunately, it doesn't. If you're still interested in this feature, you can open a feature request for libxml2.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
