Your original post had

<xsl:template match="//SelfStudy" mode="toc">
            <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="TOC1">
                  <xsl:text>Self Study&#160;</xsl:text>
                              <xsl:value-of select="
count(preceding::SelfStudy)+1"/>

so assuming you want to format that count value then I think you simply need

<xsl:template match="//SelfStudy" mode="toc">
            <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="TOC1">
                  <xsl:text>Self Study&#160;</xsl:text>
                  <xsl:format-number value="
count(preceding::SelfStudy)+1" format="A"/>


There might be more elegant solutions using the other attributes of 
format-number but I have not looked at details of the structure of your XML.
