Hi all!

I've the problem that I don't know how to handle with templates so that I can call a template into another (e.g. I tried to get a table into a parent table) without getting a Stack overflow

XML:
<table>
<border>5</border>
<width>50%</width>
<cellspacing>2</cellspacing>
<tr>
<td>
<width>30%</width>
<colspan>1</colspan>
<text>1.Feld</text>
</td>
<td>
<width>40%</width>
<colspan>1</colspan>
<text>2.Feld</text>
</td>
<td>
<width>40%</width>
<colspan>1</colspan>
<text></text>
</td>
<td>

<table>
<border>5</border>
<width>25%</width>
<cellspacing>2</cellspacing>
<tr>
<td>
<width>30%</width>
<colspan>1</colspan>
<text>11.Feld</text>
</td>
<td>
<width>40%</width>
<colspan>1</colspan>
<text>22.Feld</text>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<width>30%</width>
<colspan>3</colspan>
<text>ganz viele Fehler<text>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

XSL:

<xsl:template match="table">
<table border="{border}" width="{width}" cellspacing="{cellspacing}">
<xsl:for-each select="tr">
<xsl:value-of select="rowspan"/><tr rowspan="{rowspan}">
<xsl:for-each select="td">
<td width="{width}" colspan="{colspan}">
<xsl:value-of select="text"/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="//table"/>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>

I don't know what you're trying to achieve here, but what your code actually does is that every time you process a table element (xsl:template match="table") you are asking it to process every table element in the whole document (xsl:apply-templates select="//table") including of course the table where you started. So this will give you infinite recursion (or it would, if the processor had an infinite stack).
