Help with "xsl:number" for XSLT 2.0
I am having some difficulties with the "xsl:number" element. I want my figures to be numbered with the following format:
Figure [Root-most section number]-[Number of figure in section]
In the snippet box below I have added a simple XSL along with an example input, the output that I am getting, and finally the output that I desire.
It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could tell me how to fix this!

Hi Gertone,
That seems to work in exactly the same way as what I had before. Just to clarify, here is the output that I would like:
Section 1
---Section 1.1
------Figure 1-1
------Figure 1-2
---Section 1.2
------Figure 1-3
------Figure 1-4
Section 2
---Section 2.1
------Figure 2-1
------Figure 2-2
---Section 2.2
------Figure 2-3
------Figure 2-4
(dashes just for spacing)

No problem pal. Thanks for your help, as always it is greatly appreciated!

I wasn't aware of that attribute, that works perfectly!

<xsl:template match="figure">
<h3>
<xsl:text>Figure </xsl:text>
<xsl:number count="document/section" level="multiple" format="1"/>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:number count="figure" level="single" format="1"/>
</h3>
</xsl:template>
Note that you will have duplicate numbers, but from your required result you seem OK with that
