Re: [xsl] recursive help

[Mukul Gandhi <mukulgw3@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems you can accomplish the transformation without
recursion.. Below are the templates.

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="//standard" />
</xsl:template>
	
<xsl:template match="//standard">
    <xsl:if test="standard">
       <h2><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></h2>
    </xsl:if>

    <xsl:if test="not(standard)">
       <a><xsl:attribute
name="href">addlinkinfol8r</xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="@name" />
       </a>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Mukul
