My exact desired result follows - basically I want to add the letter a, b, or c to the Question # depending on if the problem is the 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Currently in my xsl I have a generic copy template which takes care of just copying all the nodes I care about. Now I want to modify the text in the <span class="questionHeader"> based on its parent <question>'s position. I can imagine a slightly cumbersome strategy using xslt 1.0 that involves parameters and writing several more templates to match the various nodes so the param can be passed through correctly. Then using substring functions. In xslt 2.0 I see regular expressions to change the text, but can't find a faster way to determine the position of the parent node. Pointers anyone? Thanks <!-- my generic copy template --> <xsl:template match="*" mode="qcaudio"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:apply-templates mode="qcaudio"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> ### sample xml: <base> <group> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 1: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 1: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 1: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> </group> <group> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 2: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 2: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 2: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> </group> ### desired result xml: <group> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 1a: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 1b: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> <problem ...> ... many nodes ... <question ...> ... many nodes... <span class="questionHeader">Question 1c: </span> ... many nodes... </question> </problem> </group> <group> ... etc....
