XSL Concepts and Practical Use: XSL Element Summary

<xsl:number>

The <xsl:number> element counts elements in the source tree (or takes a numeric expression) and inserts a text representation of the resulting number into the result tree.

<xsl:number
  level = "single" | "multiple" | "any"
  count = pattern 
  from = pattern 
  value = number-expression 
  format = { string }
  lang = { nmtoken }
  letter-value = { "alphabetic" | "traditional" }
  grouping-separator = { char }
  grouping-size = { number } />

level: Identifies the counting level
count: Selects the element(s) to count
from: Selects the location where counting should begin
value: A numeric expression to convert to a text representation
format: The format string
lang: The language to use for conversion
letter-value: Selects alphabetic or traditional letter values (in English, alphabetic is the traditional sequence, but that is not true in all languages)
grouping-separator: The grouping separator character (",")
grouping-size: The number of digits in a group (3)
