can't seem to figure out...

The alMIGHTY N

<inbox>
<email>
<to>John Doe</to>
<from>Jane Doe</from>
<subject>This is the subject</subject>
<paragraph>P1</paragraph>
<paragraph>P2</paragraph>
<paragraph>P3</paragraph>
<paragraph>P4</paragraph>
</email>
</inbox>

I'm trying to get the text within the multiple <paragraph> tags through
XSLT. If I have the following XSLT stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
To: <xsl:value-of select="to"/>
From: <xsl:value-of select="from"/>
Subject: <xsl:value-of select="subject"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

If I want to cycle through the four paragraphs in the above, how would
I do that? I was thinking of using <xsl:for-each> but couldn't figure
out how to get the text.

Thanks...

Your thought about xsl:for-each is one solution:
<xsl:for-each select="paragraph">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

A more idiomatic solution would be to write a template for each of the
element types and let apply-template recursion take care of this iteration.

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="to">
To: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="from">
From: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="subject">
Subject: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="paragraph">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
