RE: [xsl] Variable iteration

["Aron Bock" <aronbock@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

fadi,

If you don't care about the order of test,

> test="@requiredknowledge=preceding::*[name()=concat('chunk_name',$n,'_knowledge')]">

Could be something like:

test="@requiredknowledge=preceding::*[substring(local-name(), 1, 10) = 
'chunk_name' and ...]">

If you want to test for a specific order of $n, you could use a loop to pass 
in various values of n.  How you generate that loop of numbers should be an 
FAQ.  Essentially, select arbitrary nodes from XML (or current XSL) doc, and 
use position().

<xsl:for-each select="/foo/bar[position() &lt;= 3]"> // use a better path
   <xsl:variable name="n" select=" position of . "/>
   ...
</

Regards,

--A
