You can use recursion to simulate counter functionality, but you have not specified any input or output format, so providing some general code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="text"/>
    <xsl:template match="/">
        <!-- TODO: Auto-generated template -->
        <xsl:call-template name="counter">
            <xsl:with-param name="start" select="1" />
            <xsl:with-param name="stop" select="10" />
            <xsl:with-param name="increment" select="1" />
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template name="counter">
        <xsl:param name="start" />
        <xsl:param name="stop" />
        <xsl:param name="increment" />
        Value:<xsl:value-of select="$increment"/>
        <xsl:if test="$increment &lt; $stop">
                <xsl:call-template name="counter">
                <xsl:with-param name="start" select="$start" />
                <xsl:with-param name="stop" select="$stop" />
                <xsl:with-param name="increment" select="$increment+1" />
            </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:if>

    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

XSLT is based upon Functional programming hence you can not use counters you can try Recursions if it can be of your help
