I created file "fxsl-range.xsl" from "generateFromTo.xsl" and
tried (unsuccessfully) to transform template "generateBatch"
into "func:function" with name "range:to".

This would allow to include "fxsl-range.xsl" into "T0.xsl"
and see below working based on fxsl iter concept:

    <xsl:for-each select="range:to(1,10000)">
      <xsl:variable name="f" select="."/>
      ...
    </xsl:for-each>

May you please show how to create function "range:to" in:
fxsl-range.xsl as described above?

generateFromTo.xsl from my previous post.

The template name is "generateBatch".
