FOR loop in XML Publisher

Question

Hi,
Is there a construct to run a loop for a specific number of time?
Like 'FOR i in 1 .. 5 ' ?
Thanks,
Ashish

Instead of that FOR loop,
you can use the recusrsion,
by putting a sub-template , and call it by passing the number as parameter ,
following is the sample XSL code.
<xsl:template match="test">
<xsl:call-template name="loop">
<xsl:with-param name="var">3</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="loop">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$var &gt; 0">
test
<xsl:call-template name="loop">
<xsl:with-param name="var">
<xsl:number value="number($var)-1" />
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
weird
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
