Taking the liberty of assuming a document root named "root-element" (just
substitute whatever is the case in your document), this will do what you asked.
"Look Ma! No recursion!" (Pardon an American old enough to remember 1950's TV
ads.)

Subject: [xsl] recursive template call, howto
Here is the data:
<group>
<line id = "1"/>
</group>
<group>
<line id="2"/>
</group>
<group type="complex">
<line id="3"/>
<line id="4"/>
<line id="5"/>
<line id="6"/>
</group>
<group>
<line id="7"/>
</group>
<group>
<line id="8"/>
</group>
The idea behind the data is that there are two types of groups: simple
and complex. The simple do not have a "type" attribute (it could if it
would help things). The end result should be HTML where the first two
simple groups are in one HTML table, than there is a second table for
each of the complex groups and thing a final table for the last three
simple groups. The order of simple and complex groups is random.
My thought was when the first simple group was encountered, call a
recursive template starting at the simple group and building a nodeset
of lines until a complex group or the end was encountered. I cannot
figure out how to do that in xsl. Am I on the right path? If so, how
do I do it? If not, what is the right path?
