Re: COUNT IN THE SAME STYLESHEET

if i write a piece of code as:

<xsl:number count="ms:node-set($cont)/PC/NOME"/>

it says: that there havde to be a NODE TEST and no a variable or a
funcction!

Well, according to the spec the count attribute must have
a match pattern as value.
Try something like:
  <xsl:number value="count(ms:node-set($cont)/PC/NOME)"/>

<xsl:value-of select"$cont">
it stamp
also ibm9 obm10 and the element "tag" go out!
why this?

That's because xsl:value-of inserts the text content of the
selected node set into the result tree. You'll probably want
to use
 <xsl:copy-of select"$cont"/>
instead. Get a good XSLT book and look up details about this
topic there.
