You either need an extension function or recursive named templates. If you know the string in advance, you could use a substring: substring('abcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabc',3*3) But the named template is the most general solution: <xsl:call-template name="replicate"> <xsl:with-param name="string" select="'abc'"/> <xsl:with-param name="num" select="3"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:template name="replicate"> <xsl:param name="string" select="''"/> <xsl:param name="num" select="1"/> <xsl:value-of select="$string"/> <xsl:if test="$num > 1"> <xsl:call-template name="replicate"> <xsl:with-param name="string" select="$string"/> <xsl:with-param name="num" select="$num - 1"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> ~Chris - -- Christopher R.
