Symphony.

I would like to output a list with a certain number of list items in xslt
for example dynamicly create 5 listitems in xslt:

<ul>
    <li>listitem1</li>
    <li>listitem2</li>
    <li>listitem3</li>
    <li>listitem4</li>
    <li>listitem5</li>
</ul>

How can i do this?

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but...

<xsl:template match="/">
    <ul>
        <xsl:call-template name="generate">
            <xsl:with-param name="to" select="5" />
        </xsl:call-template>
    </ul>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="generate">
    <xsl:param name="count">1</xsl:param>
    <xsl:param name="to" select="10" />

    <li>item <xsl:value-of select="$count" /></li>

    <xsl:if test="$count &lt; $to">

        <xsl:call-template name="generate">
            <xsl:with-param name="count" select="$count + 1" />
            <xsl:with-param name="to" select="$to" />
        </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Or try out Nick's alternative 'for' loop using XSLT and template callbacks.

Woah I forgot all about that, well remembered.

(Need to rebuild my blog and make this stuff more easy to read).

Alpacaaa's solution works perfect for my case. Although i am not sure if i understand it fully
looks like the if statement is called untill it reached the set value (5 in this case, mine is a variable value)
The 'to' parameter is now set to 10 but can be anything larger then 1, am i right?

Nick's solution most probably works fine too, but seems a bit more complex, so i just go with alpacaa's solution, thanks!

10 is default, but you can override it specifing the to param while calling the template.
