Hi, I am trying to transform an XML file by using XSL and display it as html. Here is the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="links.xsl"?>
<links>
   <link name="1">
		<link name="1.1" url="#"/>
		<link name="1.2">
			<link name="1.2.1"/>
			<link name="1.2.2"/>
		</link>
   </link>
   <link name="2">
		<link name="2.1">
			<link name="2.1.1"/>
			<link name="2.1.2"/>
			<link name="2.1.3"/>
		</link>
		<link name="2.2">
			<link name="2.2.1"/>
			<link name="2.2.2"/>
			<link name="2.2.3"/>
		</link>
		<link name="2.3"/>
   </link>
   <link name="3"/>
</links>

and here is the XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> </head> <body>

	<ul>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="links/link"/>
	</ul>


</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="link">
			<li>
				<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
			</li>
			<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="link/link">

		<li>
					<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
		</li>

	<ul>
		<xsl:apply-templates />
	</ul>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and here is the output html:


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
   <ul>
     <li>1</li>
     <li>1.1</li>
     <ul>
     </ul>
     <li>1.2</li>
     <ul>
       <li>1.2.1</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
       <li>1.2.2</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
     </ul>
     <li>2</li>
     <li>2.1</li>
     <ul>
       <li>2.1.1</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
       <li>2.1.2</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
       <li>2.1.3</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
     </ul>
     <li>2.2</li>
     <ul>
       <li>2.2.1</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
       <li>2.2.2</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
       <li>2.2.3</li>
       <ul>
       </ul>
     </ul>
     <li>2.3</li>
     <ul>
     </ul>
     <li>3</li>
   </ul>
</body>
</html>

The problem is xsl creates empty <ul></ul> in between. Can you help me fix it?

Thanks
