although we really shouldnt discuss wd-xsl here.......

...this will not give you the position in the for-each, childNumber()
returns the position of the node within nodes of the same name.  So, on
a for-each select="root/*":

<root>
  <node>a</node>
  <node>b</node>
  <other>c</other>
</root>

would give you 1,2,1

whereas xslt's postion() function would give you 1,2,3

Subject: [xsl] Current position in WD namespace


In the http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl namespace, is there a way to get the
current position in an xsl:for-each loop?  Essentially, I would like to
create a numbered list of the values in a series of "procstep" tags
within
the "metadata/dataqual/lineage" tag in my XML files.

I know this namespace is outdated, but it's what I have to work with for
the
time being.

Any help is appreciated.

Mike
