& XSLT I'm building a table of contents from my XML file. However, I only want
to display the nodes x levels deep. For now, it's 2, but perhaps we
might want to change that later. As such, I'm trying to write the XSL so
we can just change a variable or xsl:if test to change the depth of the
TOC.

Here's a sample set of templates I am using:

The first template starts the parent UL and grabs each of the parent
level nodes.
-----------------------------------
<xsl:template match="/"> 

	<div id="rulesListTOC"> 
		<h2> Table of Contents:</h2>
		<ul> 
		<xsl:for-each select="ruleItems"> 
			<xsl:call-template name="rulelistTOC" /> 
		</xsl:for-each> 
		</ul> 
	</div> 
	
</xsl:template> 
-----------------------------------

For each parent level node it finds, it calls this template:
-----------------------------------
<xsl:template name="rulelistTOC"> 

	<xsl:variable name="TOCTemplateLoopCount"
select="$TOCTemplateLoopCount+1"/> 

	<xsl:for-each select="ruleItem"> 

		<xsl:if test="$TOCTemplateLoopCount &lt; 3"> 

		<xsl:variable name="id"> 
			<xsl:number level="multiple" from="/ruleItems"
/> 
		</xsl:variable> 

			<li> <a href="#id{$id}"><xsl:value-of
select="number" /> : <xsl:value-of select="title" /></a>
				<xsl:if test="ruleItem"> 
					<ul> 
						<xsl:call-template
name="rulelistTOC" /> 
					</ul> 
				</xsl:if> 
			</li> 
	
		</xsl:if> 	
		
	</xsl:for-each> 
</xsl:template> 
-----------------------------------

I've attempted to put an xsl:if test in there to first check to see
which recursive loop it's on. If it's less than 3 (ie, first or second
pass through) then go ahead and render some markup.

The question I have is how to I initially set the TOCTemplateLoopCount
variable? I need to set it to 0 to begin with outside of this template.
However, if I do that...

<xsl:variable name="TOCTemplateLoopCount" select="0" /> 
<xsl:template name="rulelistTOC"> 
	<xsl:variable name="TOCTemplateLoopCount"
select="$TOCTemplateLoopCount+1"/> 
	...
</template> 

It seems to get re-set to '0' on each pass of the template as it is
evaluated to '0 + 1' each time. I'm confused as to why that is.
