RE: Container HTML around recursive collection

David,
Have a look on my site in the Tutorials/How To Do This section it does
something similar to what you want. Make sure you check the XSLT stylesheet
and not the XSL one.

>  D) Child items are created in item template
>  E) If Child item has its own child items then recursively call

>Resulting HTML is hoped to look something like this:
