Counter in XSLT processing

Question

Is there anyway to keep an incremental counter in an XSLT stylesheet? I would like to append this counter to several element names to maintain uniqueness.
Thanks

Answer 1

I can generated the number I want using xsl:number. However, I don't know how to include it as part of the element name I am trying to generate.

For example:
<xsl:template match="DownlinkCellID_member">
<xsl:number level="single" count="DownlinkCellID_member"/>
<xsl:element name="DownlinkCellID{@index}">
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
</xsl:element >
</xsl:template>

"index" is an attribute I included in the original XML file that I read and append to the element name. I would like to remove "index" from the original XML file and replace it's using in the xslt template with the output from xsl:number. How can I do this? Will it work if I create a variable?
Thanks :-)
