This is what recursion is for. In your template that matches "item" output the value of the first text node "text()[1]", then apply-templates again. That will call the "item" template again. Your transformer will automatically stop processing when the source document runs out of "item" elements. -- Charles Knell cknell@xxxxxxxxxx - email -----Original Message----- From: David Elsmore <delsmore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, 05 Feb 2004 12:09:33 +0000 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: outputting unknown amount of child elements Given the following consisting of embedded elements with a common name: <items> <item>Level 1 <item>Level 2 <item>A</item> <item>B</item> <item>Level 3 --- etc.---- </item> </item> <item> </items> How can I process this so all child elements (regardless of the depth) are outputted in a way that mirrors the structure structure of the original document. For example the uoutput may look something like this: Heading Level 1 Heading Level 2 A B Heading Level 3 I would find this straightforward if there was a fixed number of levels but in this case the amount varies and is unknown.
