RE: simple conditional looping

Hi Keyur,
  You can simulate a loop with recursion..

<xsl:call-template name="iterate">
  <xsl:with-param name="x" select="50" />     
</xsl:call-template>

<xsl:template name="iterate">
  <xsl:param name="x"/>
    
  <xsl:if test="$x > 0">
    <tr/>
    <xsl:call-template name="iterate">
      <xsl:with-param name="x" select="$x - 1" />     
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>


Using xslt 2.0 you can use:

  <xsl:for-each select="for $x in 1 to 50 return $x">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:for-each>

Using Saxon you can easily use this with your xslt 1.0 stylesheets
(unless you are worried about portability).


Cheers
