i would like to declare a variable counter in my xsl file and to
incremente it whenever i have the occurence toto in my XML file.
toto is a complextype whose maxOccurs="unbounded" in the schema
declaration.
Of course you can't reassign a variable, usually you would use something like:
count(preceding::toto|.)
to obtain how many <toto>'s had been processed.
So, for this source xml:
<test>
<toto>
<titi/>
<tata/>
</toto>
<toto>
<titi>hello</titi>
<tata>bye</tata>
</toto>
</test>
you could use:
<xsl:template match="titi">
<xsl:value-of select="count(parent::toto/preceding-sibling::toto|.)"/>
</xsl:template>
(more efficient than preceeding::* axis)
