The value for variable $tabNum is achievied by using xsl:number and count attribute to count the tables in the source xml, from whatever node you want to count from relative to the current table node.

It would probably be better that I ask my other questions in a more appropriate forum.

It would be good to know how to access the formal table number (shown as $tabNum in the extract below). The XSL for the continuation text would also need to be internationalized and new localized entries created in the customization layer files for each supported language. I'm not quite sure how to implement the I18n bit - any "key" pointers would be welcome. I expect that the placement of the text might also need to be internationalized to support languages that don't read from top left to bottom right.
