RE: nested templates?

The way the template example you gave can be structured something like ...


<xsl:stylesheet>


<!-- template -->
<xsl:template match="/">
    <!-- top level -->
    <div align="center">

    <!-- folder -->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="folder">
    </xsl:apply-templates>
    <!-- /folder -->

    </div>
    <!-- /top level -->
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="folder">
    <a href="/"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></a><br />

        <!-- item -->
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*">
        </xsl:apply-templates>
        <!-- /item -->

    <p/>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="*">
        <a href="{href}">
        <xsl:value-of select="href" />
        </a><br />
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>


On your related question, try looking into <xsl:include> and <xsl:import>

Best wishes as you learn xsl templates... :-)

A related question:
    -Can I import another xsl at runtime to handle a template operation for
me? Say I have an element <field> that I want to transform into an html
<input type="foo"> tag, and I'd like to select that element (<field>) and
pass it off to another template. I suppose I could write a php-helper to do
this, but that seems kludgey to me.
