Hello
first a little german-xml for beginners. ;-)
<frage>=<question>, <antwort>=<answer>
got it? ok!

Im having a problem with the following task.


I want a simple fo:table. Left cell, the question, right cell the answer.
I managed to loop over the <frage> and put the content in a new 
row/cell. But how do I get the accordant <antwort> in the SAME loop in 
the second cell?

I tried to make 2 loops each and put it in tables next to each other. 
The problem is when the content from the right <antwort> table is bigger 
than the left <frage> table , the <frage> and <antwort> are not on the 
same row.


forgive me my ugly source o great xsl programmers. Im a newbie....

xml:
<page>
<info>
<profil>
  <frage>frage 1 frage 1?</frage>
  <antwort>antwort 1 antwort 1 antwort 1 antwort 1</antwort>
  <frage>frage 2 frage 2?</frage>
  <antwort>antwort 2 antwort 2 antwort 2 antwort 2</antwort>
  <frage>frage 3 frage 3?</frage>
  <antwort>antwort 3 antwort 3 antwort 3 antwort 3</antwort>
  <frage>frage 4 frage 4?</frage>
  <antwort>antwort 4 antwort 4 antwort 4 antwort 4</antwort>
</profil>
</info>
</page>

The solution will resemble this (HTML tables, but you get the idea):

<xsl:template match="profile">
  <table>
    <tbody>
      <xsl:for-each select="frage">
        <tr>
          <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
          </td>
          <td>
            <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::antwort[1]"/>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </xsl:for-each>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</xsl:template>


Or this (same thing):


<xsl:template match="profile">
  <table>
    <tbody>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="frage"/>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="frage">
  <tr>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </td>
    <td>
      <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::antwort[1]"/>
    </td>
  </tr>
</xsl:template>
