You are thinking procedurally, not functionally. You
can't modify
variables in XSLT.

Just calculate the number of spaces to indent as

count(ancestor::*) * $indent


Mike,
Pardon me for asking what may be a simple question, 
but I am not very well versed in xsl. How do I
translate the count to number of spaces(&#160)?
