Re: Iteration in XSLT

Unless you use an extension, you have to do it via recursion.  Call a named
template from the main template, passing in zero as param, then, if the
counter argument is less than 5, call the same template passing in the
counter param + 1.

A lot of people want a looping mechanism in XSLT, but that would make
incremental processing almost impossible.

I went through some XSL books and XSLT 1.0 documentation but cannot find
anything except the command <xsl:for-each> on iteration in Stylesheet.
Please consider the following XML document:

<count>5</count>
<Hello>Hello, World!</Hello>

Is it possible to display the text(Hello, World!) five times using XSLT
processor?


Thanks for your responses in advance.
