try

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"/>
	<xsl:template match="/" name="square">
		<xsl:param name="range" select="100"/>
		<xsl:param name="current" select="1"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$current"/> &#42; <xsl:value-of
select="$current"/> &#61; <xsl:value-of
select="$current * $current"/>
		<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
		<xsl:if test="$current &lt; $range">
			<xsl:call-template name="square">
				<xsl:with-param name="current"
select="$current+1"/>
			</xsl:call-template>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
