Hi list
In XSLT 2.0 (in XMLSpy) this markup:
<xsl:variable name="indent_4" select="for $a in 1 to 4 return 'x'"/>
Returns 'x x x x'.
Why the whitespace?
How can I get 'xxxx' returned both in XSLT 1.0 and in XSLT 2.0?
In XSLT 2.0 only one can use:
<xsl:sequence select="string-join(for $a in 1 to 4 return 'x', '')"/>
The following code works both in XSLT 1.0 and XSLT 2.0:
<xsl:for-each select=
"(document('')//node() | document('')//namespace::*)[position() <= 4]">
<xsl:value-of select="'x'"/>
</xsl:for-each>
For any non-trivial application of this problem (where the number of
repetitions N is unknown or has a very big value) one can use
recursion explicitly or it is even more appropriate to use an FXSL
function such as f:iter()
