I used the following:


<xsl:template match"StretchText">
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/> ---> THIS doesn't work in my case.
</xsl:template>

use :
<xsl:template match"StretchText">
 <xsl:variable name="pos">
  <xsl:number level="any"/>
 </xsl:variable>
 <xsl:value-of select="$pos"/>
</xsl:template>
