Or is this totally wrong-tree barking? call-template, unlike apply-templates, doesn't change the context node. i think call-template _is_ the one you want, because it calls the grouper template _once_ (not once for each node), which lets grouper handle the, er, grouping. also, a select attribute is only meaningful on apply-templates, not on call-template- > <xsl:call-template name="grouper" select="//w[@function='item']"> -, so you need to pass "//w[@function='item']" to grouper as the value of another param. btw, if you know where the <l>s will be, it's probably better to say "/lg/l/w[@function='item']": // is always likely to be inefficient. i think you're trying to make $listname change form 'list1' to 'list2' to 'list3' etc on each call of grouper?? if i'm right about that, then i'd say it's easier to pass the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc & make strings from the numbers when necessary - because it's easier to increment numbers than strings (this isn't Perl). so the lg template could say- <xsl:call-template name="grouper"> <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="/lg/l/w[@function='item']"/> <xsl:with-param name="listnumber" select="1"/> </xsl:call-template> -and then grouper could do something like- <xsl:param name="nodes"/> <xsl:param name="listnumber"/> <xsl:param name="listname" select="concat('list',$listnumber)/> <xsl:param name="nodeset" select="$nodes/self::*[@n=$listname]"/> <xsl:param name="nextset" select="$nodes/self::*[@n!=$listname]"/> <xsl:param name="nextlistnumber" select="$listnumber+1"/> <xsl:if test="$nodes"> <!-- i.e. "are there any nodes that haven't been handled yet?"; whereas "not($nextset='')" is true when there are no nodes in $nextset that have a string value of '' - which looks like why you're getting infinite recursion (it's true for the empty node-set) --> (no change to your for-each loop.) <xsl:call-template name="grouper"> <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$nextset"/> <xsl:with-param name="listnumber" select="$nextlistnumber"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> -- cheers phil "When Alkan said, 'How are you?' the question had a total nuance: he really wanted to know how you were, although at the same time he was asking the question purely for the sake of social from. Yet he managed simultaneously to acknowledge both of these conflicting messages and still reformulated the question so that it incorporated them and yet was devoid of all assumptions. Furthermore none of the above seemed to be _implied_." XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
