The 'count' attribute on xsl:number expects a pattern that matches the nodes you're interested in counting to make up the number. So something like: <xsl:number level="any" format="1." count="footnote" /> would give the number of 'footnote' elements appearing before the current node in the document, including the current node if it's a 'footnote' element itself. You can't use a parameter for the 'count' attribute, so you're probably stuck doing something like: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$element = 'type1'"> <xsl:number level="any" format="_1" count="type1" /> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$element = 'type2'"> <xsl:number level="any" format="_1" count="type2" /> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> and so on, although another solution may be apparent if you give more details about what you're trying to achieve.
