XSLT incrementing count

[John Wilkinson]

Hi,
I am new to XSLT. My problem is that I wish to create an HTML table, and
give each row an incrementing number from 1.This would increment every
itteration of a for-each loop.
The XSLT fragment I have tried is:

<xsl:variable name="test" select="0"></xsl:variable>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr bgcolor="#9acd32">
<th>Number</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="amsal_coverage_stats/core">
<tr>
<td>

<xsl:value-of select="$test+1"></xsl:value-of>

</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

However this just has the value 1.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
John.

You can use
<xsl:value-of select="position()" />

For more advanced stuff you might want to check the <xsl:number> statement.

don't use <xsl:for-each> element, it's terrible. Instead of it
<xsl:apply-templates> with <xsl:value-of select="position()"/> in it.
