Re: [xsl] Count the node from zero instead of one.

[Mukul Gandhi <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

In XSLT 2.0 you may try to do something like below,

<xs:function name="func:myNumber" as="xs:positiveInteger">
      <xsl:param name="nodePattern" as="node()*" />

      <xsl:variable name="num" as="xs:positiveInteger">
           <xsl:number count="$nodePattern"/>
      </xsl:variable>
      <xsl:sequence select="$num - 1" />
</xs:function>

and replace following in your code:

<xsl:element name="position">
     <xsl:number count="*"/>
     <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</xsl:element>

with

<position>
     <xsl:value-of select="func:myNumber(*)" />
     <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</position>

you would have to bind the function namespace prefix "func:" to an
appropriate URI.

This is not tested.
