Re: Printing ancestor elements of all element nodes

This is also working (I corrected my original approach). I am happy
with the responses so far..

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

<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="//*">
       Element <xsl:value-of select="name()" /><xsl:text> -
&#xa;&#xa;</xsl:text>
       Ancestors of the element are <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
       <xsl:call-template name="printAncestors">
          <xsl:with-param name="node" select="." />
       </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="printAncestors">
    <xsl:param name="node" />

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="($node/parent::*[1] or
$node/parent::*[1]/parent::*[1])">
        <xsl:value-of select="name($node/parent::*[1])"
/><xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
        <xsl:call-template name="printAncestors">
	  <xsl:with-param name="node" select="$node/parent::*[1]" />
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
