Re: position within same nodes

Stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
    <root>
        <xsl:variable name='meeps' select='//meep'/>
        <xsl:for-each select='$meeps'>
         <xsl:value-of select='position()'/>--
        </xsl:for-each>
    </root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


Results:

<root>1--
  2--
  3--
  </root>


Cheers,
