Re: Repeating something "n" times.

How do I repeat something 'n' times without a node list with n elements?

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:call-template name="breaks">
    <xsl:with-param name="times" select="$times"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="breaks">
  <xsl:param name="times" select="$times"/>
  <xsl:for-each select="$elements[position() &lt;= $times]">
    <br/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell

[When XSLT 1.1 provides node-set casting] it will
also be possible to create the equivalent of arrays and hashes.
