[xsl] Counting non-empty elements

[Sergej <dibona@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

sorry but I am a novice in this field and probably my question has an easy 
solution, but I cannot find it.
I'd like to write a number near non-empty descriptions as shown in the 
following code:
        <xsl:template match="itemSet">
                        <tr>
                                <td>
                                        <xsl:if 
test="normalize-space(itemDesc)">
                                                <xsl:number 
level="multiple" format="1. "/>
                                                <xsl:value-of 
select="itemDesc"/>
                                        </xsl:if>
                                </td>
                                <td>
                                ....
                                </td>
                        </tr>
                        ....
        </xsl:template>

The problem is that also the empty elements are taken into account even if 
the number does not appear. In other words I get something like

1. Description 1        xxxx
                        xxxx
3. Description 3        xxxx
                        xxxx
5. Description 4        xxxx

and I'd like '3.' to be '2.' and '5.' to be '3.'

Does anybody know how should I do. Thanx a lot for your help.

Sergej
