Here is a possible solution.
You can write a named template as below to abstract generating the
'item' structure.
<xsl:template name="printItem">
<xsl:param name="type" />
<xsl:param name="value" />
<!--
Add more parameters if you want
-->
<item>
<type><xsl:value-of select="$type" /></type>
<value><xsl:value-of select="$value" /></value>
</item>
</xsl:template>
Now you can call this template with appropriate parameter values
wherever you want in the stylesheet (using xsl:call-template
instruction).

I have repetitive code in my xslt. This code produces a list and does
not depend on the input xml. I am wondering if there is a way to
minimize this code. I can do it through for-each, but the element are in
the xslt file and not in the input xml, so I can not use the 'select='.
For example, I need to generate this code regardless of the input xml:
<item>
<type>type1</type>
<value>val1</value>
</item>
<item>
<type>type2</type>
<value>val2</value>
</item>
<item>
<type>type3</type>
<value>val3</value>
</item>
Of course I can use this directly in my xsl file, but there's more item.
So the code is too long. And there are more tags for the item. Does that
make things clear?
