I have the following xml-structure: Chapter / \ / \ Paragraph Paragraph / | \ \ / | \ / | \ \ etc. / | \ \ / | \ \ Text StretchText Text StretchText Now I need in each StretchText-Node the number of itself. That means what is the number of the StretchText - node if I look at the whole tree. So I can count ALL Stretchtext-nodes from 1 to n. If I use 'position()' I only get the node number of Stretchtext from the node 'Paragraph', So each Stretchtext child is countet from 1 to m in each Paragraph, but I need to count in the whole tree. I used the following: <xsl:template match"Chapter"> <xsl:apply-template select="Paragraph"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match"Paragraph"> <xsl:value-of select="Text"/> <xsl:apply-template select="StretchText"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match"StretchText"> <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> ---> THIS doesn't work in my case. </xsl:template> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Isn't it possible to do like the following: can't I tell the function 'position()' to count the StretchText-nodes from the root node and not from Paragraph???? Things like <xsl:value-of select="Chapter//StretchText[position()]"/> does not work. Thank you.
