RE: [xsl] continuation of xsl:number

["Andrew Welch" <awelch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To answer my own question (too quick to post ;)

  <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding::step1|.)"/>
  <xsl:if test="local-name()='step2'">
    <xsl:number level="multiple" format=".1.1" 
         count="step2|step3|step4|step5"/>
  </xsl:if>

cheers
