Re: [xsl] XSL Iteration... or something like that

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Isn't it easier to do it with <div> and paddings or text-indent 
something similar?

<xsl:template match="folder">
  <xsl:for-each select="ancestor::folder">&#160;&#160;</xsl:for-each>
  <a href="{@href}">
    <xsl:value-of select="@friendlyName"/>
  </a>
  <br/>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
