Subject: RE: [xsl] Iterating over values in a table of data From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2006 10:28:16 +0100 |
An approach I have used successfully with this kind of problem is to use a two-phase transformation in which phase 1 converts your input document to a stylesheet, and phase 2 executes the stylesheet. It's not the only approach - an interpretive approach also works - but it may be the cleanest.
