Using the xsl:for-each command

In this recipe, we will examine the usage of the for-each command in XSLT. This function is helpful when we need to transform a number of identical elements in the array. We will use the for-each command to map (transform) the list of the available cars.

Getting ready

We will modify the example from the The chaining functions recipe. For our recipe, we will define a new schema to show how the for-each command works. We define a schema that presents a list of the available cars to be rented. The schema is as follows:

  <xsd:element name = "WScars">
  <xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name = "listCars" maxOccurs = "unbounded">
        <xsd:complexType>
          <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name = "carType" type = "xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element name = "buildYear" type = "xsd:int"/>
            <xsd:element name = "milleage" type = "xsd:int"/>
            <xsd:element...
