xsl:for-each

Iterates over a sequence, executing its body once per item with that item as the context.

<xsl:for-each select="item">
  ...
</xsl:for-each>

Each iteration is independent — there is no way to carry state from one iteration to the next. For accumulating loops use xsl:iterate; for grouping use xsl:for-each-group. Optional xsl:sort children control the order in which items are visited.
