I am trying to create a report from xml data that will appear in an

propagate throughout the outline structure.

However, this doesn't seem to be working.  I'm not sure what I am
missing.

You are missing that value= trumps all other attributes for <xsl:number/>.


The example below (with expanded input data) illustrates that you need only specify where to start in the sequence. You cannot use value= when trying to reflect the count of nodes in the source node tree.

I hope this helps.
