Ok, xsl:number works for the little example I gave above, but in fact my XML
looks like this:

--- snip --
<xmltable>
	<row>
		<data><content key="string"></data>
		<data><content key="image"></data>
		<data><content key="string"></data>
	</row>
	<row>
		<data>
			<xmltable>
				<row>
					<data><content key="image"></data>
					<data><content key="image"></data>
					<data><content key="string"></data>
				</row>
			<xmltable>
		</data>
	</row>
</xmltable>
--- snip ---



That means if I wanted to count/number the content elements, <xsl:number
level="any" /> would output the correct result.
Now I want to count the content elements with key="string", then the ones
with key="image" etc.

I could make a <xsl:template match="content[@key = 'string']> and then
<xsl:number as shown above and it would work as well.
But I want <xsl:template match="content">, not specified with the key
attribute value. Inside this template I need the number/count of the content
elements with the specific key attribute values, for example:

"This is the third content element with key=string in the document."
"This is the fifth content element with key=image in the document."
