Re: [xsl] XSLT: Taking Value of One Attribute and Smearing it Across multiple times

[Torsten Schaßan <schassan@xxxxxx>]

Dear Rex, George and David,

maybe I got it wrong, but wouldn't the following be a much simpler solution?

<xsl:template match="offers">
 <xsl:call-template name="recursion">
   <xsl:with-param name="start"><xsl:value-of 
select="fcst/@start_hr"/></xsl:with-param>
   <xsl:with-param name="end"><xsl:value-of 
select="fcst/@end_hr"/></xsl:with-param>
   <xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of 
select="fcst/@value"/></xsl:with-param>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="recursion">
 <xsl:param name="start"/>
 <xsl:param name="end"/>
 <xsl:param name="value"/>
 <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="$start &lt; $end">
     <xsl:value-of select="$value"/>
     <xsl:call-template name="recursion">
       <xsl:with-param name="start"><xsl:value-of select="$start + 
1"/></xsl:with-param>
       <xsl:with-param name="end"><xsl:value-of 
select="$end"/></xsl:with-param>
       <xsl:with-param name="value"><xsl:value-of 
select="$value"/></xsl:with-param>
     </xsl:call-template>
     <xsl:text>, </xsl:text>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
     <xsl:value-of select="$value"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Anyway, just to point it out again, in XSLT 1.0 the problem is solved 
with recursive call-templates and passing the template a param (not 
variable!).

Best, Torsten
