Hello,

 I have a very simple question. I have currently the following xsl
script (1). But instead of creating elements I would like to create
attributes, something like:

<entry tag="{$1}" attribute="{$2}" type="{$3}" description="{$4}"/>

 Where $1-4 are the values coming from the loop at position() respectively 1-4.
 Coming from a C/C++ world I would have created variables,
unfortunately I cannot do that with the loop. I must be missing
something trivial to be able to rewrite it correctly in XSL.

Thanks


(1) <entry> <xsl:for-each select="td"> <xsl:variable name="cur_val"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="position() = 1"> <tag d="{$cur_val}"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="position() = 2"> <attribute d="{$cur_val}"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="position() = 3"> <type d="{$cur_val}"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="position() = 4"> <description d="{$cur_val}"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <bug/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> </entry>
