Re: Generate N elements

Dave Pawsons XSLT FAQ has useful examples of this.

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/sect21.html

There are two main approaches:
- Repetiton - using recursive templates
- a neat approach Jeni Tennison pointed out by selecting document nodes 
in the XSLT stylesheet and using position() to limit the number
   This can be used in a for-each loop
   e.g.
<xsl:variable name='thisdoc' select='.'/>
<xsl:for-each select='document("")//*[position() &lt;= $num_times]'>
<!-- use $thisdoc if you want to access main document nodes -->
<!-- do whatever you want -->
</xsl:for-each>
