I'm not a programmer (except maybe a bit of an XSLT programmer) so I'll give
you a brief answer; other people can probably explain better.
No, there's no way of doing iteration in XSLT. You have to use recursion.
Basically, create a named template and have it call itself until some
condition is satisfied (using xsl:choose). There are bound to be examples in
the FAQ!

Hi All,
Is there a tried and true method of iterating a specific number of times?
xsl:for-each seems to constrain me to iterating over nodesets. But I'd like
to be able to loop exactly, say, 256 times - each time generating some
output.
Thanks in advance.
Cordially,
Paul
