How can I count how many previous FootNoteReference nodes there are in an xml doc such as this...
<MyDoc>
<title><Big Title></title>
<head>Objective</head>
<head2><Heading></head2>
<head>Introduction</head>
<Para>
asdf asdf asdf asd<FootNoteReference />asdf asdf asfd asfd
</Para>
<head>Overview</head>
<Para>
<Begin with a definition of the class to which<FootNoteReference /> the categories belong, if required.>
</Para>
<Para><List the different categories to be taught.></Para>
<Heading1><Category 1></Heading1>
<Para>< som neodolal a celé ozdobené spústou prachu v jednom preso></Para>
<Para><Provide examples, if required.></Para>
<Heading1><Category 2></Heading1>
<Para>< som neodolal a celé ozdobené spústou prachu v jednom preso></Para>
<Para><Provide examples, if required.></Para>
<Heading1><Category 3></Heading1>
<Para>
<Provide a description<FootNoteReference /> of the third category as outlined in the list.>
</Para>
<Para><Provide examples, if required.></Para>
<head>Summary</head>
<ListItem type="ul"><Summarize the definition, if applicable.></ListItem>
<ListItem type="ul">< som neodolal a celé ozdobené spústou prachu v jednom preso<FootNoteReference />.></ListItem>
<ListItem type="ul">< som neodolal a celé ozdobené spústou prachu v jednom preso></ListItem></MyDoc>
Notice how the FootNoteReference node is nested at different levels. I know if they were all nested at the same level I could do: count(preceding-sibling::*[local-name() = 'FootNoteReference'])
Thanks!
