For Next Loop in XSLT

Summary So many people have said that you cannot do For Each - Next looping in XSLT. This snippet demonstrates how to do this using recursion.

There is no direct equivalent for the For-Next construct in XSLT. (This is by design...)

However, such an effect can be achieved using recursion.

This important part of this snippet was originally supplied by David Carlisle.

Look for the section, where all the hard work is done. The element is used as a pseudo-loop counter.
