xsl child items

Upon reading "apply-templates", the proccessor will pick the appropriate template per node (using the match attribute to determine that); you dont have to do it your self. Text should be outputted per the default behavior (AFAIK) thus:



<xsl:template match="items"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="item">
	Heading <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Given the following consisting of embedded elements with a common name:

   <item>Level 1
         <item>Level 2
               <item>A</item>
                 <item>B</item>
                       <item>Level 3
               --- etc.----
               </item>
           </item>
      <item>
</items>

How can I process this so all child elements (regardless of the depth) are outputted in a way that mirrors the structure structure of the original document. For example the uoutput may look something like this:
Heading Level 1
Heading Level 2
A
B
Heading Level 3


I would find this straightforward if there was a fixed number of levels but in this case the amount varies and is unknown.

Thanks for your help
