Re: Node selection list

  <xsl:template match="ITEM">
so here the current node is ITEM
        <xsl:value-of select="count(ITEM)"/>
and here you are counting the number of child elements called ITEM which
is zero.
You probably want xsl:number
or 1 +count( preceding-sibling::ITEM)
or
1+count(receding:-sibling:ITEM)+count(../preceding-sibling::PARA0[TITLE!='Raging
River']/ITEM)


, but I cannot set the
number attribute "count" or "from" with the condition
"not(string(ancestor::PARA0/TITLE)='Raging River ')" 

you don't want to number a condition you want to number elements on
which that condition is true so use  ITEM[not(......)]
also if you know PARA0 is teh parent of ITEM, use parent:: rather than
ancestio:: it's a lot kinder to th esystem.
