Re: [xsl] repetition using for-each (and generating "attributes")

David,

Thanks but I am still doing something wrong. I can't add another template
within my stylesheet because I have tags that proceed and follow the
portion I sent to the list. That is, when I add a template within what
I have my parser is asking me to include end tags </> before I start
another template. Is there another way besides adding another template?
Also, will your original response apply to generating attributes of <POINT>
tags?
