Hi Vic,
<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 5 = 1]">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates
select=".|following-sibling::item[position() < 5]"/>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each>
My problem is the xml I've been given. The elements at this level
all have different names, so how can I rephrase the above loop to
work with this xml? Something like <xsl:apply-templates
select=".|following-sibling::A1 or A2 or A3 or A4 (etc)[position() <
5]"/>
You *could* specify each of the names as follows:
. | following-sibling::*[self::A1 or self::A2 or self::A3 ...]
[position() < 5]
but probably you don't need to test the names at all; just use:
. | following-sibling::*[position() < 5]
(Note that you have to escape the < to < when you use this
expression within the XSLT.)
Cheers,
Jeni
