XSL Loop inside a template
I am trying to create a loop inside a template. I found 2 methods, but both of them did not work:
Method 1:
<xsl:template name="recurse_till_ten">
<xsl:param name="num">1</xsl:param> <!-- param has initial value of
1 -->
<xsl:if test="not($num = 10)">
...do something
<xsl:call-template name="recurse_till_ten">
<xsl:with-param name="num">
<xsl:value-of select="$num + 1">
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Method 2:
<xsl:variable name="count" select="'5'"/>
<xsl:for-eachselect="(//*)[position()<=$count]">
<!-- Repeated content Here -->
<!-- use position() to get loop index -->
<xsl:value-of select="position()"/>.<br/>
</xsl:for-each>
Method 1 gave the following error:
element template only allowed as child of stylesheet
Method 2 did not show anything since I am using another position() for displaying some outputs:
<td>
<xsl:if test='buildid = /cdash/etests/etest/buildid'>
<xsl:variable name='index'
select='2*count(preceding-sibling::build[buildid = /cdash/etests/etest/buildid])+position()' />
<xsl:value-of select="/cdash/etests/etest[position()=$index]/value" />
</xsl:if>
</td>
How can I create a loop that should call the code between two times?

Answer
I'm not sure what you are trying to do in your method 2 process so I'm going to focus on the first one.
You will want to update the code to something like this
<xsl:template name="recurse_till_ten">
<xsl:param name="num" />
<xsl:if test="not($num = 10)">
...do something
<xsl:call-template name="recurse_till_ten">
<xsl:with-param name="num" select="$num + 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
The only important change I made was not setting the variable in the loop. By setting it in the loop then you are always setting num = 1 which would make for an infinite loop.
So then you would call it somewhere else in your template by doing this.
<xsl:call-template name="recurse_till_ten">
<xsl:with-param name="num" select="number('1')" />
</xsl:call-template>
That should allow you to loop until the variable hits 10.
