Re: [xsl] compact code using loop

Here is a possible solution.

You can write a named template as below to abstract generating the
'item' structure.

<xsl:template name="printItem">
   <xsl:param name="type" />
   <xsl:param name="value" />
   <!--
      Add more parameters if you want
   -->
   <item>
       <type><xsl:value-of select="$type" /></type>
       <value><xsl:value-of select="$value" /></value>
   </item>
</xsl:template>

Now you can call this template with appropriate parameter values
wherever you want in the stylesheet (using xsl:call-template
instruction).
