Re: sequential numbering with for-each

I just generated some sample data in variable foos. You would have to
replace it with some code that generates your desired list (a sequence of
strings as I understood your outline). My suggestion was not trying to
create the list and the numbering at the same time - but first create the
list (sequence) and iterate on that list to do the numbering.

So if you put 'for each /root/foo[@type = @ttype from 'root1']/foo1' and
whatever logic is needed to create your unnumbered list into variable foos
this should work - if I got your sample correctly.
