Re: [xsl] outputting unknown amount of child elements

[David Elsmore <delsmore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply.

I should have stressed that not only do I want to ouput all the elements 
using recursion but I also want, effectively to know how many ancestors 
they each have in order to structure the output so it makes clear the 
hierarchical structure of the data.

Many thanks

David
