We have two threads running today along the lines
Q: I want to transform X to Y
A: here's the code
Q: But the input isn't always like X, it might be X', in which case I want
Y'
A: here's the code
Q: But what if the input is X"?
A: here's the code
This can go on for ever, and it's remarkable that people respond to these
questions. Even more remarkably, people sometimes guess correctly what the
real requirement is (we miss Jeni, but there are others who sometimes fill
her shoes).
To specify a transformation, you need to know the range of possible inputs,
and rules to decide what the output should be in each case. One example
input and one example output simply isn't enough.

This does not work as there may be other nodes between and before
<fragment>. It might look like this and with your solution I get the
wrong positions.
<doc>
<foo/>
<fragment pos="3">...</fragment>
<fragment pos="4">...</fragment>
<bar>
..
</bar>
<fragment pos="11">...</fragment>
...
</doc>

Tempore 12:51:02, die 02/09/2005 AD, hinc in
xsl-list(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com scripsit Robert Soesemann
<rsoesemann(_at_)sapient(_dot_)com>:
<doc>
<fragment>...</fragment>
<fragment>...</fragment>
<fragment>...</fragment>
...
</doc>
I need a <xsl:template match="fragment"> that produces this output:
<doc>
<fragment pos="1">...</fragment>
<fragment pos="2">...</fragment>
<fragment pos="3">...</fragment>
...
</doc>
Can I use position() for that?
Yes indeed.
use this tremplate:
<xsl:template match="fragment">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:attribute name="pos"><xsl:value-of
select="position()"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
(in conjunction with this template)
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
regards,
