Have you ever wondered how to iterate a set number of times in XSL? While it is easy to "walk" a nodelist using xsl:for-each or xsl:template, it is a bit more tricky to iterate a set number of times (the "for" statement in C#). Here is what you do:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="...">
<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:call-template name="iterator">
  <xsl:with-param name="LastNo">10</xsl:with-param>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="iterator">
 <xsl:param name="LastNo"/>
 <xsl:param name="i" select="0"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="$i"/>
 <xsl:if test="$i &lt; $LastNo">
  <xsl:call-template name="iterator">
   <xsl:with-param name="LastNo" select="$LastNo"/>
   <xsl:with-param name="i" select="$i + 1"/>
  </xsl:call-template>  
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This will iterate through the "iterator" template 10 (derived from the "LastNo" variable) times.
