[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Why I want to change the value of a variable.
 The fact that variables can't vary in XSLT means that it is often easier
to use recursion than for-loops, with the notable exception (I believe)
of situations where you need alphabetic sorting.
In your case you need both changing variables and sorting, so the
solution involves both recursion and a for loop.
It's also worth browsing the XPATH spec for useful functions...
Francis.
