Incremental count ?

[sheila11]

Hi all,

I have an xml file that can contain any number of Ordered Lists. I need to add text at the begining of each list, that will specify what's the number of that list.

I understand that we can't increment a variable in XSLT. Is there any work around this ? I noticed a thread (

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=50703

) where a solution is advised by Avator, to a similar question.
But my problem is that the Lists can occur anywhere in my XML.

Any pointers/advice ?
TIA,
Sheila

Try this:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="ol">
    <ol>
      <mypos><xsl:value-of select="position()"/></mypos>
      <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
    </ol>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
