In one template, do this...

  <xsl:call-template name="MakeHTMLBlock">
    <xsl:with-param name="num" select="number(@foo)"/>
  </xsl:call-template>

And then have this template...

<xsl:template name="MakeHTMLBlock">
  <xsl:param name="num"/>
  <xsl:if test="$num">
    <p>
      <b>some HTML</b>
    </p>
    <xsl:call-template name="MakeHTMLBlock">
      <xsl:with-param name="num" select="$num - 1"/>
    </xsl:call-template> 
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
