I have an rss feed of the format:

<rss>
<tvshow id="17279" day="1" start="600" end="720" duration="120">
<description> show 1 is about.. </description>
</tvshow>
<tvshow id="17280" day="1" start="800" end="920" duration="120">
<description> show 1 is about.. </description>
</tvshow>
<tvshow id="17283" day="1" start="1000" end="1120" duration="120">
<description> show 1 is about.. </description>
</tvshow>
<tvshow id="17289" day="1" start="1500" end="1620" duration="120">
<description> show 1 is about.. </description>
</tvshow>
<tvshow id="17281" day="2" start="600" end="720" duration="120">
<description> show 1 is about.. </description>
</tvshow>
<tvshow id="17282" day="3" start="600" end="720" duration="120">
<description> show 1 is about.. </description>
</tvshow>
</rss>

I am aiming to have my XSL to get the current Time (ie xslt2
currentTime). I want to compare this time to see if it falls within
the interval of each of the show on a specific day (ie day 1). If it
falls within that timeslot, then I want to grab the description tag.
However, if the currentTime is within 30 minutes of the next show, I
want the description to update within that 30 minute interval.

I can't think out the proper way to do this in XSL. I can store a
currentTime and then take the difference of the currentTime and the
start time, and then compare the minimums. This is easy to say but
how do I code this in xsl?

Can I do something a recursive look to find the minimum difference (ie
current show?)

example:

<xsl:if test="min(currentTime-/rss/tvshow/@start)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="description"/>
</xsl:if>

I take it that XSL is a little unintuitive since its done via
recursion, but how would i implement something like this? just doing a
test on min -- does it go through all the elements and finds the
minimum?


Thanks so much.
