RE: Re: recursive help

I would like the results to look something like this. It is sort of like a book,section,chapter senario.

<h>title of book</h>
	<h>Section 1</h>
		<a>chapter 1</a>
		<h>chapter 2</h>
			<a>subchapter 1</a>
	<h>Section 2</h>
		<a>chapter 1</a>
		<a>chapter 2</a>
	<h>Section 3</h>
	<h>Section 4</h>
		<a>chapter 1</a>

the problem is that I will never know how deep/levels the standard can be.

tia,
jason

> i have an xml document that needs to be transformed which seems to perfect
for recursion. (this is my first attempt at trying this) it is essentialy a
nested menu system of links. the basic logic is it checks to see if a node
has a child, if it does print a header otherwise a link.    i built the xml
document using recursion, i just can't figure out how to transform it useing
the same technique. samples of both xml and xslt
