Thank you Ken, Michele, and Liam! This is exactly what I needed. I'll
take a look at your video Ken, I'm just getting my feet wet in XSL and
need all the help I can get.

Hi XSL list,
I'm a fairly new XSL user and am still figuring things out. Right now
I'm having trouble looping through repeated elements.
Here's my source XML snippet:
<ead>
...
<archdesc>
...
<did>
...
<langmaterial encodinganalog="546">Collection material in
<language encodinganalog="041$a"
langcode="eng">English</language>,
<language encodinganalog="041$a"
langcode="yid">Yiddish</language>, and
<language encodinganalog="041$a"
langcode="rus">Russian</language>.
</langmaterial>
Here's my XSL snippet:
<xsl:if test="/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial">
<xsl:for-each select="/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language[1]">
<marc:datafield tag="041" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<marc:subfield code="a">
<xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language[1]/@langcode)"
/>
</marc:subfield>
</marc:datafield>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language[2]">
<marc:datafield tag="041" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<marc:subfield code="a">
<xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language[2]/@langcode)"
/>
</marc:subfield>
</marc:datafield>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language[3]">
<marc:datafield tag="041" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<marc:subfield code="a">
<xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language[3]/@langcode)"
/>
</marc:subfield>
</marc:datafield>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
Right now, this achieves what I want. Each langcode is represented by
an individual MARC 041 field. But, as you can see, I have hard coded
each node sequentially. In my XSL, I repeat this ten times, in
anticipation of more langcodes. Is there an easy way to code the
output I want, and then have this loop until it has covered each
instance of <language>?
I've tried this:
<xsl:if test="/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial">
<xsl:for-each
select="/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language">
<marc:datafield tag="041" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<marc:subfield code="a">
<xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(/ead/archdesc/did/langmaterial/language/@langcode)"
/>
</marc:subfield>
</marc:datafield>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:if>
But it only repeats the first @langcode three times, instead of having
three distinct outputs.
Many thanks!
