Re: [xsl] How do I do this?

Soumen,

It would be easier if instead of a "for-each" instruction, you simply had 
an <xsl:apply-templates/> there and then a template specifically for the 
<param/> elements, as in:

<xsl:template match="param">
  <xsl:text>{</xsl:text>
  <xsl:number/>
  <xsl:text>}</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

You could do it in a for-each such as you describe, but then you need extra 
logic to test whether this is a param element or not, whereas using a 
template the logic is built in.

Cheers,
Wendell
