Let me just provide the framework, and you can implement it in XSL: You need a recursive template called something like "OutputNodeAndItsChildren". Its implementation, when called with a node as parameter, is: - output the node header - identify the node's children - for each of those children, call "OutputNodeAndItsChildren" with the child as parameter. Then your processing consists of only this: - identify the root node (parentID="0" perhaps?) - call "OutputNodeAndItsChildren" with the root node as parameter. That's it.

The XML file is a flat representation of heirarchal data. It looks like this: <Root> <Groups GroupID="1" Name="Group1" ParentID="0"> <Groups GroupID="2" Name="Group2" ParentID="1"> <Groups GroupID="3" Name="Group3" ParentID="1"> <Groups GroupID="4" Name="Group4" ParentID="1"> <Groups GroupID="5" Name="Group5" ParentID="2"> <Groups GroupID="6" Name="Group6" ParentID="2"> <Groups GroupID="7" Name="Group7" ParentID="3"> <Groups GroupID="8" Name="Group8" ParentID="3"> <Groups GroupID="9" Name="Group9" ParentID="4"> <Groups GroupID="10" Name="Group10" ParentID="5"> <Groups GroupID="11" Name="Group11" ParentID="5"> <Groups GroupID="12" Name="Group12" ParentID="6"> <Groups GroupID="13" Name="Group13" ParentID="8"> <Groups GroupID="14" Name="Group14" ParentID="8"> <Groups GroupID="15" Name="Group15" ParentID="9"> <Groups GroupID="16" Name="Group16" ParentID="10"> <Groups GroupID="17" Name="Group17" ParentID="10"> <Groups GroupID="18" Name="Group18" ParentID="16"> <Groups GroupID="19" Name="Group19" ParentID="18"> <Groups GroupID="20" Name="Group20" ParentID="19"> ... <Root> The groups list will grow over time. I want to transform it into an HTML document to an Unordered list that will show the heirarchical structore of the file. Example: * Group1 * Group2 * Group5 * Group10 * Group16 * Group18 * Group19 * Group20 * Group17 * Group11 * Group6 * Group12 * Group3 * Group7 * Group8 * Group13 * Group14 * Group4 * Group9 * Group15 Is there an easy way to do this with XSL. I'm new at this and I'm kind of stumped right now. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
