If you mean the line number of the node in the source document, Saxon provides this using the saxon:line-number() extension function saxon:line-number() , provided the source document is provided through an interface (such as the SAX parser) that reports line numbers. There is no standard XSLT mechanism for this.

You could use a node position or some kind of identifier to achieve your requirements.
