It seems you can accomplish the transformation without
recursion.. Below are the templates.
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//standard" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//standard">
<xsl:if test="standard">
<h2><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></h2>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(standard)">
<a><xsl:attribute
name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" />
</a>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

i have an xml document that needs to be transformed
which seems to perfect for recursion. (this is my
first attempt at trying this) it is essentialy a
nested menu system of links. the basic logic is it
checks to see if a node has a child, if it does
print a header otherwise a link. i built the xml
document using recursion, i just can't figure out
how to transform it useing the same technique.
samples of both xml and xslt
xml doc:
<?xml ?>
<standards>
<standard id="1" name="test">
<standard id ="32" name="test" />
<standard id ="45" name="test>
<standard id ="23" name="test" />
<standard id ="12" name="test" />
</standard>
</standard>
</standards>
xslt:
<xsl:transform
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template name="buildmenu">
<xsl:param name="foo" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position()!=last()">
<xsl:choose>
<!-- test to see if foo has children
if so print header -->
<xsl:when test="count($foo) != 0">
has child print header
<h2><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></h2>
<xsl:call-template
name="buildmenu">
<xsl:with-param
name="foo" select="$foo" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- no children print link -->
<a><xsl:attribute
name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></a>
<xsl:call-template
name="buildmenu">
<xsl:with-param
name="foo" select="$foo" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<a><xsl:attribute
name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></a>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="standards">
<xsl:call-template name="buildmenu">
<xsl:with-param name="foo" select="standard" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<!--<xsl:template match="standards">
<xsl:for-each select="standard">
<a><xsl:attribute
name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" /></a>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template> -->
</xsl:transform>
