I am very new to XSLT, so thank you in advance for helping me out. My issue is related to wanting to print output conditionally using counters. If an element returns no data, I do not want to print the header for that section (easy enough). However, these headers need to be numbered ... which is where I am having a problem. For example, given: (XML for record 1234): <Order> <OrderNumber>1234</OrderNumber> <CustomerID>111</CustomerID> <Return/> <Total>$344</Total> </Order> (XML for record 1235): <Order> <OrderNumber>1235</OrderNumber> <CustomerID>233</CustomerID> <Return> <ReturnDate>3/15/2011</ReturnDate> <ReturnReason>Too small</ReturnDate> </Return> <Total>$455</Total> </Order> If someone selected record 1, they expect the transformed html output to be: 1. Order Number: 1234 2. Customer ID: 111 3. Total: $344 If someone selected record 2, they expect the transformed html output to be: 1. Order Number: 1235 2. Customer ID: 233 3. Return Date: 3/15/2011 3.1. Return Reason: Too small 4. Total: $455 I learned quite quickly that I can't do a simple counter. From what I've read, it is suggested that I use a recursive template. Can you please help me? Below is my sample code ... (only showing a snippet for brevity. I am using XSLT 2.0 and have set a global variable of newLine for a carriage return.) <xsl:value-of select="/Order/OrderNumber" /><xsl:text>Order Number: </xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="counter"> <xsl:with-param name="index" select="position()"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:value-of select="$newLine" /> <xsl:value-of select="/Order/CustomerID" /><xsl:text>Customer ID: </xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="counter"> <xsl:with-param name="index" select="position()"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:value-of select="$newLine" /> <xsl:if test="/Order/Return/ReturnDate"> <xsl:value-of select="/Order/Return/ReturnDate" /><xsl:text>Return Date: </xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="counter"> <xsl:with-param name="index" select="position()"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:value-of select="$newLine" /> <xsl:value-of select="/Order/Return/ReturnReason" /><xsl:text>Return Reason: </xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="counter"> <xsl:with-param name="index" select="position()"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:value-of select="$newLine" /> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="/Order/Total" /><xsl:text>Total: </xsl:text> <xsl:call-template name="counter"> <xsl:with-param name="index" select="position()"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:value-of select="$newLine" /> <xsl:template name="counter"> <xsl:param name="index" select="1"/> <xsl:if test="$index <= 10"> <!-- I put this in here so it doesn't fall into an infinite loop. There's got to be a better way? --> <xsl:value-of select="$index"/> <xsl:call-template name="counter"> <xsl:with-param name="index" select="$index + 1"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
