Sorry to chip in.This discussion started with my
problem and it's still unsolved.
I thought some solutions had been posted, another is at the end.
Which could have been done straight
away if there were some provision of incrementing a
variable in XSLT.
I don't beliee that the logic of the program below would have been any
simpler if it was expressed as a loop rather than as recursion.
(ft:assign
you've mentioned ft:assign a few times but I don't think you've said
what bamespace you have ft bound to so I don't know what extension this
is. I know saxon has such an extension, but as i said in an earlier mail
it makes no sense to use assignment for any result that you want to be
portable between systems.
