im looking to format something along the lines of this

<a>

   <b>b</b>

   <b>c</b>

</a>

<a>

   <b>b</b>

   <b>c</b>

</a>

<a>

   <b>b</b>

   <b>c</b>

</a>

 

I use the For-each for the <a>'s but im not sure how to show multiples of <b>

<xsl:for-each select="a">
    <xsl:for-each select="b">
 
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

My name has 9 letters. Coincidence? I think not...

Or:

 

<xsl:for-each select="a/b">
</xsl:for-each>

 

That will also iterate over all b's in all a's.

True.

 

Does make reading/following the XSL's logic a little more annoying plus makes it harder to maintain (when you end up adding 'a' after 'a/b' and forget that 'a/b' exists).

Ok so I coded this 

        <tr>
            <th align="left"><b>Children:</b></th>
            <th align="left"><b>Boys</b></th>
        </tr>
        <xsl:for-each select="general_information/children/boys">
            <tr>
                <td> </td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="current()"/></td>
            </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>
        <tr>
            <th> </th>
            <th align="left"><b>Girls</b></th>
        </tr>
        <xsl:for-each select="general_information/children/girls">
            <tr>
                <td> </td>
                <td><xsl:value-of select="current()"/></td>
            </tr>
        </xsl:for-each>

 

But i want the Headers such as Children and Boys and Girls to only show if there is an entry

 

Edit: Worked it out using if, realised I only needed to test the first elemeent, since it it doesnt exist no others will

... And this is exactly why you DON'T teach people to use X-Paths like that ...

If you're using for-each, you're doing it wrong.

 

<xsl:template match="a">

    <tr><xsl:apply-templates select="b" /></tr>

</xsl:template>

 

<xsl:template match="b">

    <td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>

</xsl:template>
