XSLT+XPath Recursion

Question

I want to ask you to help me. I have problem with next task :
Input data :
Input data : build.xml
<project name="name of project" default="compile" basedir=".">
<target name="all" depends="clean,compile"
description="Clean build and dist directories, then compile"/>
<target name="clean"
description="Delete old build and dist directories">
</target>
<target name="compile" depends="prepare"
description="Compile Java sources">
</target>
<target name="dist" depends="compile,javadoc"
description="Create binary distribution">
</target>
<target name="install" depends="compile"
</target>
<target name="javadoc" depends="compile"
description="Create Javadoc API documentation">
</target>
<target name="list"
</target>
<target name="prepare">
</target>
</project>
Me should build table of dependency using XSLT+XPath
Target Dependencies
clean
list
prepare
all ______ clean
________ compile
__________ - prepare
compile | prepare
dist ______ compile
___________ - prepare
javadoc
- compile
- prepare
install ____ compile

I have read article and done example (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xslrecur/ )
Could you help me, please ?

<!-- -->
<tr style="background-color: gray;">
<td align="center">TARGET DEPENDENCY</td>

<tr>
<td width="100%">
<table border="1"
class="targetDependencyANT" align="center">

<xsl:call-template
name="printEmptyTarget" />

<xsl:template name="printEmptyTarget">
<xsl:for-each select="project/target[not(@depends)]">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="printNotEmptyTarget">
<xsl:for-each select="project/target[@depends!='']">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@depends" />
<<<<<<<<<<<<< Start // This I have problem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

1.Can you differentiate these XSLT, XPath and XQuery.XSL stands for EXtensible Stylesheet Language, and is a style sheet language for XML documents. XSLT stands for XSL Transformations.
XQuery is to XML what SQL is to database tables. XQuery was designed to query XML data.
XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. XPath is a major element in W3C's XSLT standard - and XQuery and XPointer are both built on XPath expressions.
