I have a folder that contains subfolders. Within each subfolder is a bunch of

Root element = <xsl:value-of select="name(/*)"/>

Which XSLT processor do you use/target? What happens exactly when you
run that code and "it doesn't work"?
What is the correct way to do this?
If you want real iteration I would suggest to use xsl:iterate instead of
xsl:for-each.
But I suspect the problem is with the right argument for the
"collection" function. If you use Saxon 9 and
collection('folder?select=*.xml;recurse=yes')
I think you should get all files in "folder" and subfolders. I am not
sure whether you want to exclude files directly in "folder".
