Thank you both. Trying out your solutions the one provided by George gives the correct result but Michael's doesn't, however I think that's actually just a trivial error because he's written it out untested from previous experience of similar problems. However - I don't think George's method will extend easily to the other problem (forcing the index), whereas Michael's will. Also what I didn't put on my initial posting is that I will need to have both algorithms present as my input data will include both overriding index numbers and sizes. Since I wrote the above I've received George's solution for problem 3, which I don't yet understand. I still suspect the recursive approach will more easily allow me to produce a combined solution for both situations. Appreciatively, Richard. -----Original Message----- From: George Cristian Bina [mailto:george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 02 October 2007 13:49 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Using the Input Document to Control Generation of Numbers in the Output Michael Kay wrote: > [...] > This is a typical use case for recursion (even in XSLT 2.0).
