Hi,

I was wandering if it is possible to obtain the current position (in XPath
format) in XSLT.
maybe a small example of what I want makes thinks more clear (kept it very
simple, so no NS):

XML: 
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<book>
<section>
  <title>Welkom!</title>
  <paragraph>
    first paragraph 
  </paragraph>
  <paragraph>
    second par. of Welkom!
  </paragraph>
</section>
<section>
  <title>Bye!</title>
  <paragraph>
    bla
  </paragraph>
</section>
</book>

Now I want an xslt document to transform this xml in something like:
<text position="//section[1]/title[1]">Welkom!</text>
<text position="//section[1]/paragraph[1]">first paragraph</text>
<text position="//section[1]/paragraph[2]">second par. of Welkom!</text>
<text position="//section[2]/title[1]">Bye!</text>
<text position="//section[2]/paragraph[1]">bla</text>

Is this at all possible?

hope someone here knows the answer!

Thanks,

Lucas van Schaik
