Yes , position() works for me when i'm listing the footnotes at the bottom
of the page. But what I need is to numerate them as they appear in the
main body of the document.
<xsl:template match="footnote">
<SUP><FONT SIZE="-1">
<A NAME="#BODY{ ??????? }">
<A HREF="#FOOT{ ??????? }"> <!-- jump to the footnote at
bottom of page -->
<xsl:number/> <!-- doesn't work! -->
</A></A>
</FONT></SUP>
</xsl:template>
Using position() here does not work since every paragraph, heading etc. is
a new context, so that the footnotes start from 1 in every context.
