It looks as if you've misunderstood what the preceding-sibling axis does.
Need to see your source structure to help you understand why.
You also seem to have misunderstood xsl:number. You can use it either to
allocate a number or to format a number or both. In your usage, you're doing
neither; you'll get the same output as if you used xsl:value-of.

Subject: [xsl] count(preceding-sibling ) not working
Folks
I suspect this is a novice question, so please accept my
apologies in advance..
I have a for-each loop like this:
<xsl:for-each
select="expensys:Lines/expensys:Line/expensys:Accruals/expensy
s:Accrual">
<txn:PSIBS>
<xsl:number value="count(preceding-sibling::*)"/>
</txn:PSIBS>
<!-- More code here -->
</xsl:for-each>
The for-each selects a number of nodes, typically 5 - 7, but
the value oout in <PSIBS> is usually 0.
I know could use "position()", but after I solve this problem
I need to apply a filter to the PSIBS value.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks - Adam
