For-each is often used to iterate through a set of nodes in XML, but it is often necessary to add an ordinal number to do so: <xsl:template match= "book" ><xsl:for-each select= "authors/" Author ">
<xsl:number value= "
position ()"/><xsl:value-of select= "Name"/></xsl:for-each></xsl:template> of course, if you're not satisfied, you want to add "." After the numbers. You can do this: <xsl:number value= "
position ()" format= "1."/>Even, you can use the picture to express 1\2\3 and so on: <xsl:element name= "img" >
<xsl:attribute name= "src" >images/n
<xsl:number value= "position ()" format= "1"/>.gif</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name= "Border" >0</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element> Note: You have a file like this in the Images folder: N1.gif,n2.gif,n3.gif ... Let's say we have XML as follows:
<Book>
<ID>125353-8993-3737</ID>

<Title> Communism will win </Title>
