I use this book since 3 years, and now it is even available for free
download.
Find xsl:number on pages 124-126 with examples.

>The rest is mine (developed from Googling xsl:number).

Interesting observation. I know the feeling - I've been stuck on some
problems involving Ant and C# the last couple of days, and Google is an
important tool in finding the answer. But I think there's a difference
between using Google when you're stuck, and using it as your first port of
call. There's an awful lot of garbage out there on the web, such as forum
postings answered by people whose own knowledge is very limited, and Google
indexes it all.

I'd say the right strategy for getting information about an XSLT language
construct is, in order:

(a) consult your favourite textbook (different styles suit different
people)

(b) go to the definitive language spec - many specs are quite readable once
you've learnt to find your way around them

(c) Google to see if someone else has had the same problem

(d) ask here
