Thanks for your reply. Here's an input sample and two stylesheets which
don't quite work.
Sample xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TEI.2>
<text>
<body>
<entryFree>
<otherstuff1>stuff1</otherstuff1>
<otherstuff2>stuff2</otherstuff2>
<otherstuff3>stuff3</otherstuff3>
<sense n="1">blah1</sense>
<sense n="2">blah2</sense>
<sense n="3">blah3</sense>
</entryFree>
</body>
</text>
</TEI.2>
This stylesheet puts the <br />'s in the wrong place (not before the
first <sense>.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="sense">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<br /><br /><br />
</xsl:if>
<br /><div><b><xsl:value-of select="@n"/></b>.
<xsl:apply-templates /></div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This stylsheet puts the <br />'s in the right place but doesn't include
the "otherstuff" content.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="entryFree">
<xsl:apply-templates select="orth" />
<xsl:for-each select="sense">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<br /><br /><br />
</xsl:if>
<br /><div><b><xsl:value-of select="@n"/></b>.
<xsl:apply-templates /></div>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Jeremy,
You had the right idea with position() -- the first <sense> in the doc would
be position() = 1. If you mean something else, please post a small input
sample.
<xsl:variable name="first" select="1" />
<xsl:template match="sense">
<xsl:if test"$first=1">
<br />
<xsl:variable name="first" select="0" />
</xsl:if>
<div><xsl:apply-templates /></div>
</template>
This doesn't work in XSL -- variables can't change their value once set.
They're "variables" in the sense of mathematical variables which have a
specific, non-changing value throughout a computation, rather being
variables in the sense of imperative laguage variables that can have a
different value at different points of a computation.
