Re: Increasing a numerical value in a for-each loop

<xsl:value-of select="165 + ((position()-1) div 2)*35"/>
in the first case on the xsl:when
and

<xsl:value-of select="165 + ((position()-2) div 2)*35"/>
on the otherwise part.

Best Regards,

Good day,

I've been going through this mailing list and trying to figure out a way to increase a numerical value in a for-each loop. I know I can't use a variable since I can't change its value after it's been set.

The code:
--snip--
<xsl:for-each select="//Ticket">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() mod 2 = 1">
DIR 4:PP <xsl:value-of select="165 + increment"/>,<xsl:value-of select="230 + //offsets/x"/>:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "23. mam 2007"
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
DIR 4:PP <xsl:value-of select="165 + increment"/>,<xsl:value-of select="515 + //offsets/x"/>:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "28. mam 2007"
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
--/snip--

As you can see I'm now using position() to alternate between odd and even elements, but I need to increment 165 by 35 each time the for-each loop is run.
I know I can use a template to increment a variable but I don't think that's "The XSL-way".

The output I'm getting now is:
--snip--
      DIR 4:PP 165,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "14. Sept. 406 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,515:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "31. Okt. 406 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "30. Nsv. 406 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,515:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "8. Feb. 407 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "1. Mar. 407 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,515:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "22. Mar. 407 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "20. Apr. 407 kl. 19:30"
--/snip--

But I want to get:
--snip--
      DIR 4:PP 165,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "14. Sept. 406 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 165,515:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "31. Okt. 406 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 200,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "30. Nsv. 406 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 200,515:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "8. Feb. 407 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 235,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "1. Mar. 407 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 235,515:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "22. Mar. 407 kl. 19:30"
      DIR 4:PP 270,230:FT "Swiss 721 BT",8:PT "20. Apr. 407 kl. 19:30"
