Hi Lars,

I tried to use the recursive way to generate hierarchy
structure. The example I have is to generate hierarchy
by recursively call template itself without looking at
if it's sibling or child. So the structure would be:

<A>
   <B>
      <C/>
    </B>
</A>

However, my case is when I get a node I have to look
at another table(the list of nodes containing parent
and child elements) to see if this node is sibling or
child.


<xsl:template match="/doc">

 <xsl:call-template name="level">
  <xsl:with-param name="node" select="/doc/Node[1]"/>
 </xsl:call-template>

</xsl:template>


<xsl:template name="level">
        <xsl:param name="node"/>

 <xsl:variable name="n"
select="normalize-space($node)"/>
 <xsl:element name="{$n}">

  <xsl:if test="$node/following::Node">
 ***** Here I have to look at another set of
 **** elements   
****   to decide if the current node is seiling or ***
  child. If it is seiling, not call the template.

   <xsl:call-template name="level">
   <xsl:with-param name="node"
select="$node/following::Node"/>
   </xsl:call-template>

  </xsl:if>

 </xsl:element>

</xsl:template>


So, how can I look at another set of elments. Or just
like call a function with two parameters and return
value is boolean in XSLT?


Thanks

Dongling
