Re: Incrementing a variable in XSL

The question was:

> I want to increment a variable in <xsl:for-each ..,

that is, to obtain a value, reflecting the relative position of the
current node in the node-list.

This is returned always by:

position()

while using structural dependencies (e.g. preceding-sibling) may have
nothing to do with the nodelist.
