Hello dear XSL-List reader i'm trying to achieve the following: -count number of characters in different elements and print the sum of all <xsl:for-each select"paragraph"> <!--number of chars only in this paragraph--> <xsl:value-of select"string-length(.)"/> </xsl:for-each> <!-- i should have the sum here.. --> as we know, the value of variables can't be changed after initialisation to avoid side-effects. so i cannot make a loop over the elements and add the result of string-length(..) to a var. is there way to do it? i thought of concatenating first all element contents to one, and then call string-length(..) on this element. how can i concatenate an unknown number of elements (text) to one string? or would named-templates help? any help is highly appreciated, thanks thomas XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
