Answer 1

The notion of an increment is foreign to XSLT as a functional language. However, you could just count the number of preceding elements:

<xsl:value-of select="count(preceding-sibling::ORSReposTableTypeInd1)"/>

Depending on your document layout, this might get more complicated, your milage may vary.

Answer 2

I have same problem and simplest way to solve it is to use Saxon. Here you can find my solution Incrementing and checking the counter variable in XSLT

Answer 3

Use position(). Since you are incrementing this once per for-each why don't you simply use position()?

<a name="_ORS$counter" href="#_top">ORSReposColumAllWithTableTypeInd1:<xsl:value-of select="position()"/> </a>

Answer 4

What about using:

<xsl:number/>

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#number

There are various ways to include it as attributes into your anchor tag.

Option 1: Using variables

<xsl:variable name="number">
  <xsl:number/>
</xsl:variable>
<a name="{$number}">blabla</a>

Option 2: xsl:attribute

<a>
  <xsl:attribute name="name">
    <xsl:number/>
  </xsl:attribute>
</a>
