XSLT:for-each

From MDC

XSLT/XPath Reference: XSLT elements, EXSLT functions, XPath functions, XPath axes

Contents

The <xsl:for-each> element selects a set of nodes and processes each of them in the same way. It is often used to iterate through a set of nodes or to change the current node. If one or more <xsl:sort> elements appear as the children of this element, sorting occurs before processing. Otherwise, nodes are processed in document order.
