Here's a simplified form of the problem. Given this input:
<chap>
<para lines="3"/>
<para lines="5"/>
<para lines="8"/>
etc
</chap>
produce a copy of the input, with a <page-break/> element inserted after any
para that causes the cumulative number of lines to exceed 30.
The answer to this is what I call "sibling recursion", something like this:
<xsl:template match="chap">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="para[1]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
<xsl:param name="lines-so-far" select="0"/> <!-- 0 is the default value
of the parameter -->
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$lines-so-far + @lines <= 30">
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::para[1]">
<xsl:with-param name="lines-so-far" select="$lines-so-far + @lines"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<page-break/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::para[1]"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Sibling recursion using xsl:apply-templates has a couple of advantages over
call-template recursion: the sequence over which you are iterating is an
implicit parameter (it's identified implicitly by the context node); and the
recursion terminates naturally when there are no more siblings.

I'm a novice in XSLT and it's not very easy for me to realize the
second part of the algorithm.Can you please give me a short example.
Thank you in advance.

The first stage is a classical grouping problem: see
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping for advice on using
Muenchian
grouping in XSLT 1.0, or use the new xsl:for-each-group instruction
in 2.0.
(Note, XSLT 1.1 doesn't really exist, it was a working draft that
wasn't
followed up).
Insert the page breaks in a second pass through the data. This is a
little
tricky (I use it as an exercise on courses) and requires processing
the
sequence using recursion, passing a parameter in the recursive call
that
indicates the number of lines processed so far.

Subject: [xsl] Can't solve the following XSL transformation
I'm a novice in XSLT and doesn't have any experience.Can
you help me
to perform the following transformation:
trasformed data should look as follows:
****************
Sector 1
****************
Subsector 1
++++++++++++++++
ID[t]Value
----------------
id1[t]value1
...
idN valueN
----------------
Subsector 2
++++++++++++++++
ID[t]Value
----------------
id1[t]value1
...
idN valueN
...
****************
Sector 2
****************
Subsector 1
++++++++++++++++
ID[t]Value
----------------
id1[t]value1
...
idN valueN
----------------
Subsector 2
++++++++++++++++
ID[t]Value
----------------
id1[t]value1
...
idN valueN
...
There is a limitation: no more than 25 data rows (idX valueX) per
page.Page breaks (<span style="page-break-before: always"></span>)
cannot be inserted in the middle of data section but before
sector/subsector only.I'm using XSLT v1.1.
Here is the xml:
