OK, that works.

But the number always appaear as "1.", "2." and it seems that it is in a 
leftmost cell of a row of a table.

What I want is the word "Exercise" printed before the number:

<xsl:template match="question" mode="label.markup">
<xsl:text>Exercise </xsl:text>
  <xsl:number level="any" count="qandaentry" format="1"/>
</xsl:template>

This gives me something like this in the browser

+-----------------------------------
|Exercise | ...Text of the exercise...
| 1.      |
|         |
+---------+-----------------------------


It should look a simple as

Exercise 1: ... Text of the exercise...

How do I do that?

And why is a table generated at all?
