I know there are only two conditionals possible in xsl stylesheets,
<xsl:if> and <xsl:choose> (inside which one has <xsl:when> ... </xsl:when>
and <xsl:otherwise>...</xsl:otherwise> with nesting allow).
However, there is no "while" or "until".
Imagine,
<xsl:for-each select="foo">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="bar">blah</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>blort</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
Now imagine that when the conditions are such that <xsl:otherwise> is
matched, one wants to break out of the <xsl:for-each>.
e.g., speaking in a Perl-esque way, I want
while ($foo != "bar") {
blah
}
Is there any way to simulate, hack, or otherwise achieve this?
thanks again,
