Display repeating XML elements
The Repeating Region XSLT object lets you display repeating elements from an XML data source in a web page. For
example, if you are displaying article titles and descriptions from a news feed, and that news feed contains between
10 and 20 articles, each title and description in the XML file would probably be a child element of a repeating
element.
Any region in Design view containing an XML data placeholder can be changed to a repeated region. However, the
most common regions are tables, table rows, or a series of table rows.
1 In Design view, select a region that contains an XML data placeholder or placeholders.
The selection can be anything, including a table, a table row, or even a paragraph of text.
To select a region on the page precisely, you can use the tag selector in the lower-left corner of the Document window.
For example, if the region is a table, click inside the table on the page, and then click the tag in the tag selector.
2 Do one of the following
• Select Insert > XSLT Objects > Repeating Region.
• In the XSLT category of the Insert bar, click the Repeating Region button.
