counting elements

[stasJohn]

XML newbie... watch out.

xml file
----------------------------
<node1>
<node2>text1</node2>
</node1>
<node1>
<node2>text1</node2>
</node1>
<node1>
<node2>text2</node2>
</node1>

in xsl, how would I create the output?

text1 (#)
text2 (#)

# - being the count that text appears.


basically, I need to figure out how to count the data and display the count.

thanks in advance.

Is this even possible?

count(//node2[.='text1'])
count(//node2[.='text2'])
