Re: Alternate Values on every second column

[Eric van der Vlist <vdv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Looks quite similar to the question about iteration earlier on this
morning...

You can call a named template which would be something like (I haven't
actually tested this one which could also probably be improved by
storing the repeated tree fragment into a variable) :

<xsl:template name="loop">
<xsl:param name="idx" select="23"/>
<xsl:if test="$idx &gt; 0">
<td align="center"><b><xsl:value-of select="foo/x"/></b></td>
<td align="center"><b><xsl:value-of select="foo/y"/></b></td>
<xsl:call-template name="loop">
<xsl:with-param name="idx" select="$idx - 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps.
