There is no function called preceeding. If there were one, it would be spelt
"preceding". There are axes named "preceding" and "preceding-sibling", but
axes are not functions.

Thanks guys,
It appears there is a function called "preceeding" Which does the
trick nicely.
thanks

Please try this XSL..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/element1">
<element1>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:call-template name="numberingTemplate">
<xsl:with-param name="node-set" select="*" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:for-each>
</element1>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="numberingTemplate">
<xsl:param name="node-set" />
<xsl:for-each select="$node-set">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:attribute name="number"><xsl:value-of
select="count(self::* | preceding::step)" /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
For e.g. when it is applied to XML -
<element1>
<element2>
<step/>
<step/>
</element2>
<element3>
<step/>
</element3>
<element4>
<step/>
<step/>
<step/>
</element4>
</element1>
The output produced is -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <element1>
<element2>
<step number="1"/>
<step number="2"/>
</element2>
<element3>
<step number="3"/>
</element3>
<element4>
<step number="4"/>
<step number="5"/>
<step number="6"/>
</element4>
</element1>
Regards,
Mukul

I am wanting to count all preceeding sibling (steps) but

The output I am after is

I have have the following which works fine on every step within an
element, i.e.
<element3>
<step/>
</element3>
<element4>
<step/>
<step/>
<step/>
</element4>
Would become
<element3>
<step number="1"/>
</element3>
<element4>
<step number="1"/>
<step number="2"/>
<step number="3"/>
</element4>
<xsl:template match="step">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
<!-- Calculate the step number -->
<xsl:attribute name="number">
<xsl:value-of select="count( preceding-sibling::step ) + 1" />
</xsl:attribute> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Can anyone help?
Thanks
