What should the result be if <parameters> contains 2 <service1> children and
5 <service2> children?
If the answer is 7, then perhaps you want
count(*[starts-with(local-name(), 'service')])
Generally it looks like bad XML design to have some semantic significance
implied by the fact that <service1> and <service2> have similar names.
Better design would be to use <service nr="1"> and <service nr="2">.

Subject: [xsl] Count number of specific child templates
Case 1
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="service1.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<parameters>
<service1>
<label>first parameter</label>
<desc>specify machine name</desc>
</service1>
<service1>
<label>second parameter</label>
<desc>specify machine IP</desc>
</service1>
<cmd> -p args1 -t args2 </cmd>
</parameters>
XSL variable should give me value 2 as there are 2 'service1'
templates.
Case 2
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="service1.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<parameters>
<service2>
<label>first parameter</label>
<desc>specify machine name</desc>
</service2>
<service2>
<label>second parameter</label>
<desc>specify machine IP</desc>
</service2>
<service2>
<label>third parameter</label>
<desc>specify third param. as Y or N</desc>
</service2>
<service2>
<label>forth parameter</label>
<desc>specify forth param between 1 to 100</desc>
</service2>
<cmd> --name args1 --value args2 --decision args3
--percentage args4</cmd> </parameters>
XSL variable should give me value 4 as there are 4 'service2'
templates.
I am using perl:libxslt processor and using XSL version 1.0.I
want xsl command for giving desired outputs in both cases
above, So,how can I count total number of "service<no.>"
templates above using XSL variable(or any other xsl feature)?
So that I will get total number of arguments for each service.
