I match on <block> and count the nodes by using

The returned value is "9". I need to know how many nodes are between the element <block>. Could anyone of you out there explain to me which nodes are counted? I cannot see any schema behind.

That you receive '9' has already been explained by Eric and Michael. Here are some possible scenarios for what you may mean:

If you want to count *all* nodes, I assume you mean all descendants from block. Use: count(//node()). If you want all nodes, but not the whitespace or text nodes, use count(//*). If you want all nodes, but not whitespace nodes, including text nodes, you can use count(//text()[.] | //*). etc
