Re: [xsl] Using the Input Document to Control Generation of Numbers in the Output

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 3rd case is a little more complicated but still doable in a non 
recursive way:

 <one:one xmlns:one="http://www.example.com/one"; index="1"/>
 <xsl:variable name="one" select="document('')/*/one:one" 
xmlns:one="http://www.example.com/one"/>

 <xsl:template match="incoming">
  <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="@index">
    <ougoing name="{@name}" index="{@index}"/>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
    <outgoing name="{@name}" index="{count(preceding-sibling::*) +
     (preceding-sibling::*[@index][1]/@index|$one/@index)[1] -
     count(preceding-sibling::*[@index][1]/preceding-sibling::*)
     }"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>

Best Regards,
George
