counting elements and using the count

I have this source:

<blockquote><p> word1<lat:sup/> word2<lat:sup/> word3<lat:sup/> </p></blockquote>

desired output:

<blockquote><p>word1<sup>1</sup> word2<sup>2</sup> word3<sup>3</sup></p></blockquote>

How can I do that? of course, in the real source, there can be many more <lat:sup/> 's . There may be more than one <p> within the <blockquote>, but I need to count the lat:sup's within the blockquote, ignoring the p.

You can use xsl:number.

Here's an example (removed the lat: prefix for simplicity)

XML Input

<blockquote>
    <p> word1<sup/> word2<sup/> word3<sup/> </p>
    <p> wordA<sup/> wordB<sup/> wordC<sup/> </p>
</blockquote>

XSLT 2.0

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="sup">
        <sup>
            <xsl:number from="blockquote" level="any"/>
        </sup>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Output

<blockquote>
   <p> word1<sup>1</sup> word2<sup>2</sup> word3<sup>3</sup>
   </p>
   <p> wordA<sup>4</sup> wordB<sup>5</sup> wordC<sup>6</sup>
   </p>
</blockquote>
