Re: counting elements

If the current context is right, then you can simply do: 
 
<xsl:value-of select="count(person)"/> 
 
or you might have to augment the "person" pattern 
to fit your situation...

Subject: counting elements From: Christopher Conway <chris_conway@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 30 Jun 1999 11:51:52

It seems like a basic question, but I can't find an answer
in the spec: how do I insert an element count into a document.
For instance, I have an xml file that lists people; I want to
be able to count how many <person></person> records are in
the file and output a total.

Thanks,
Chris
