Re: [xsl] for loop

["Mitch C. Amiano" <Mitch dot Amiano at alcatel dot com>]

There is no direct expression for this, but you can accomplish
the same thing using a recursive template. 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
   version="1.0"
>
<xsl:preserve-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output method="text"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:call-template name="loop">
  <xsl:with-param name="repeat" select="number(10)"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="loop">
 <xsl:param name="repeat">0</xsl:param>
 <xsl:if test="number($repeat) >= 1">
Loop Iteration # <xsl:value-of select="$repeat"/>
  <xsl:call-template name="loop">
   <xsl:with-param name="repeat" select="$repeat - 1"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

You may want to consider why you want a loop though. 
Often, there is a structure in your input that can be
used to drive the output, and for that you just need 
an XPath.
