XSLT for-each get previous item

From: DustWolf <jure.sah@---.-->

Hello,

Is there a way to get a value from the previous loop in an XSLT for-
each loop? I need to use XSLT to convert an XML file in such a way
that every resulting item contains some data from each source item as
well as the item before it in the source XML.

I have been trying to do this with the position() function and have
come up with this:

   <xsl:for-each select="/values/value">
    <item last="{/values/value[position()-1]}" current="{.}" />
   </xsl:for-each>

...unfortunately since position() always gives the position within the
current context, it returns the position within /values/value (which
is always 1), instead of my for-each loop.

Is there a way to work around this, or maybe another solution that
works?

Thanks for any help in advance.
