RE: Building html table from atributes

To make it sure that I understood correctly:

> First an XSLT 2.0 solution:
> 
> <xsl:variable name="doc" select="/XDocument"/>
// variable that points to root element 

> <xsl:for-each select="1 to max($doc/XDocCell/@col)">
// selects all elements (attribute col of XDocCells) from 1 to the max, 
// using the doc variable.

>   <xsl:variable name="col" select="position()"/>
// col variable that declares position 

>   <tr>
>   <xsl:for-each select="1 to max($doc/XDocCell/@row)">
// selects all elements (attribute row of XDocCells) from 1 to the max, 
// using the doc variable.

>     <xsl:variable name="row" select="position()"/>
// row variable that declares position 

>     <td><xsl:value-of select="$doc/XDocCell[@row=$row and @col=$col]"/></td>
// selects all row and col atributes (from xml file) that equals
// variables row and col 

>   </xsl:for-each>
>   </tr>
> </xsl:for-each>

> To iterate a fixed number of times, use the approach:
> <xsl:for-each select="(//node())[position() &lt;= $n]">

// selects nodes whose position is less or equal to variable n, correct?

> To find the maximum row/column, you can use the standard ways of getting
> max/min (see the FAQ).
