I have a tag in deep in my XML that holds a comma (or space or semicolon ...) separated list of tokens: <tag>1,2,$19.95,4,five</tag> I have pulled this tag into a variable Tag: <xsl:variable name="List" select="?path to Tag?"/> With another node elsewhere in the hierarchy as the context node, I need to iterate n times indexing into $List. However on each iteration I may need, in various places, multiple references to $List[$i], $List[$i-1] or $List[$i+1]. This is different than making one pass through each token in $List. How would you orchestrate this so the loop logic does not overwhelm the body logic? I am looking for general techniques which make as few assumptions as possible as even this description is a simplification of my task.
