i only want to select the first 4 items and drop the rest.
Hope this helps
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="item">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- don't use item node with position larger then 4 -->
<xsl:template match="item[position()>4]"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The second template has a higher priority then the first one and is for this
reason selected for the fifth node and higher.
Cheers,
Agnes
