Re: [xsl] Dynamically generating lists of finite length

[Brendan Moran <bmoran@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks, this helps a bunch, but I don't undestand quite what this bit does.

 <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
   </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

Could you explain that to me?

Thanks,

Brendan Moran
