iteration in xsl
Hi All,
I just want to know the iteration functionality in xsl.
for example similar to the following ...
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
}
or how do i achieve that functionality ... is there any workaround?
kindly let me know ...
Regards

This can be done in XSLT but it involves invoking a template
recursively and passing a counter which you decrement to zero or
increment to a target. The is a "for-each" keyword which help do
counting stuff as well.
Here's some money well spend (IMHO)...

Tons of useful techniques and code sample has save me many an wasted
afternoon guessing.

You most likely wont need it. Check your XSLT book (you
have a book, haven't you?) for the position() and count()
XPath functions.
If you decide to ask on the XSL list, state your original
problem, like "how do I get FO list items enumerated similar
to HTML <ol>?", rather than the derived one. This is more
likely to get you a sensible answer.

You can generate RTF from XSL-FO using JFOR.
http://www.jfor.org/
This has been integrated into the development version of FOP. However, we are
a long way off being able to release the development version. You can download
the development version from CVS Head. It is not production ready, so use at
your own peril.

Hi,
unfortunatelly i have currently no time to work on jfor's integration into
fop. But anyway the current rtf support of the development version is nearly
as good as jfor (maybe in some points even better).
Kind regards

This is a pure XSL question, which would be answered more thoroughly on the
xsl list:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/
You can use xsl:for-each to cycle through all nodes in a node set determined
by the select attribute.
However, xsl is not a procedural lanaguage and as such you are often better
off using a series of xsl:templates and xsl:apply-templates to achieve what
you want.

You might have wanted to ask this in the Xalan mailing lists, since Xalan
is Apache's XSLT processor... but an even better place to ask general XSL
usage questions would be in the XSL Users mailing list:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html
Even better: Dave Pawson is maintaining an excellent XSL FAQ based on that list
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/index.html
which has advice on how to accomplish specific tasks in XSL, and I believe he did cover this question.
The brief answer is that XSLT does not have iteration per se, since all XSLT variables are
single-assignment. (XSLT can be thought of as a non-procedural language.) There are some
moderately ugly ways to get similar results.
I believe XSLT 2.0 and XQuery are expected to make generating and iterating through a
sequence of numbers somewhat easier.
