[oXygen-user] Recusrive COUNT of specific elements in XSL 2.0

[McGibbney, Lewis John]

Hi,

One requirement is for me to count instances of images within a corpus of documents, therefore I need to get the # of images per document.

I'm trying to do

<TotalImages value="I wish to copy the result of the below xsl:value-of here">
  <xsl:value-of select="count(SOMETHING[.])"/>
</TotalImages>

I know that XSLT 2.0 counts in sequences, therefore I'm hoping that at least my [.] is correct. As the image elements are scattered throughout the DOM structure so using XPath predicates is not how I wish to do this.

We all know the typical occurrence of the relevant element --> <img src="blah blah" style="blahblah" etc/>

Thank you in advance for any suggestions and apologies for the frustratingly trivial question ;0)
