Subject: Shading odd rows in recursive template

Hello there,

The following problem has kept me busy for some time now.

It is possible to shade rows generated by a recursively called template??

The (simplified) xml-file looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<equipment>
<item>
<id>0</id>
<locationId>0</locationId>
<name>Torch</name>
<container>false</container>
</item>
<item>
<id>7</id>
<locationId>13</locationId>
<name>Gold nuggets</name>
<container>false</container>
</item>
<item>
<id>4</id>
<locationId>0</locationId>
<name>Backpack</name>
<container>true</container>
</item>
<item>
<id>5</id>
<locationId>4</locationId>
<name>Bread</name>
<container>false</container>
</item>
<item>
<id>11</id>
<locationId>4</locationId>
<name>Swiss Army Knife</name>
<container>true</container>
</item>
<item>
<id>13</id>
<locationId>4</locationId>
<name>Pouch</name>
<container>true</container>
</item>
</equipment>

I can not control how the XML-source file looks nor do I know how many sub, sub-sub, sub-sub-sub etc. levels there are.

and I want to create output that looks like.

Backpack | background-color = "white"
- Bread | background-color = "lightgrey"
- Pouch | background-color = "white"
- - Gold nuggets | background-color = "lightgrey"
- Swiss Army Knife | background-color = "white"
Torch | background-color = "lightgrey"

Using a rercursively called template, it is no problem to build the tree-like result.
However, I can't find a way to shade every other row.

Coming from c++ I my first solution would be: a counter. However that seems impossible and, even if it is possible, doesn't seem to be the way to do it in XSLT.

Any solutions would be more than welcome

Which XSLT engine are you using? Would it perchance be one that
supports XSLT 2? There are platform-specific shortcuts.

I do not have a lot of info on this

The output said:
Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser

But I'm not sure if this is the xslt engine?

(Googling on org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser takes me into java programming...)

That's the SAX parser.

How are you starting the transformation, or in what environment
are you using it?

Or, let's ask the question this way:

Which version of Stylus Studio are you using?

From there, we can figure out which engine you are using.
