RE: [xsl] alternating bg colour in nested data

[Wendell Piez <wapiez at mulberrytech dot com>]

Andrew,

This is actually a good use for xsl:for-each --

<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::*">
   <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>

Tune the select expression to your needs, e.g. select="ancestor-or-self::*" 
(includes the current node in the count), "ancestor-or-self::node()" 
(includes the current node and root node), "ancestor::*[position() > 1]" to 
skip a level, etc.

Cheers,
Wendell
