Numbering

Is there a way to number all rows in a for-each statement? I don't need to produce a count, however I need to have the following output.

1 black
2 red
3 green

I need to generate the 1, 2, 3... next to the values.

The xpath function position() will give you the position in a for-each loop.

The simplest way is <xsl:value-of select="position()"/>
