RE: How to invoke a step recursively?

Hi,

You will need to give the step a type, for instance like this:

<p:declare-step name="myPipeline" type="my:pipeline"
 	xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"
 	xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
      xmlns:my="http://www.example.com/ns/xproc">
  ...


You can then call your pipeline recursively like any other XProc step:

<my:pipeline>
  ...
</my:pipeline>

Also, if you want your pipeline to take the output of the previous
iteration as its input, you probably will have to add an input port to
the pipeline.
