Hi

<xsl:variable name="count_p_s" select="string-length(//section/p)"/>

My problem is that I just get the value of the first <p>-element
and  not an addition of the rest.

  If you are using XSLT 1.0 that's the way it is supposed to work.  To
get the total of all p, use a recursive template instead:

    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="<path to the *first* p>">
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="p" mode="count-chars">
      <xsl:param name="count" select="0"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="<path to the next p>">
        <xsl:with-param name="count" select="
            $count + string-length(.)"/>
      </xsl:apply-templates>
    </xsl:template>

Thanks Florent! And what would it be if I use XSLT 2.0? Are there
distinctive differences?
As you can see I am not an expert in those transformations :-(
although I am trying to learn XSL for over a month now. Damn!
