RE: RE:"*NEVER* use for-each"

Chris
you are very right in saying this : When a new comer sees "for-each" he is
familiar with the procedural languages and starts using this only. And as
far as possible avoids templates : very true and is the case with us as a
beginner - very well said.

$Sorry if I was a bit short but he did prove me right. His next question was
$" how do you redefine a variable".
$I am not saying never use <xsl:for-each> in xslt just that it is a
$"beginners rule". IMHO people learn xslt faster the sooner they
$get the idea
$of templates and stop thinking in a procedural way.
$Maybe <xsl:for-each> is faster to start with but there is a lot of
$<xsl:for-each> spaghetti out there bloated by loads of code to get round
$problems that just naturally fall out of using templates.
