I think it is difficult to build the intelligence you want into the
stylesheet (probably someone could correct me).
Here is the XSLT stylesheet I wrote.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/root">
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="column" />
</tr>
<xsl:call-template name="printRows">
<xsl:with-param name="list"
select="descendant::bullet[(_at_)ID='1'] | descendant::bullet[(_at_)ID='3']" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="printRows">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="descendant::bullet[(_at_)ID='2']
|
descendant::bullet[(_at_)ID='4']" />
</xsl:call-template>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="column">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="@title" />
</td>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="printRows">
<xsl:param name="list" />
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="$list">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="tip" />
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I have an xml file that I need to create into a columnar table format. I
can't figure out how to group the data to display in a column when not all
the column rows cells will contain data. I am using XSL 1.0
sample xml is:
<column title="Capital Markets">
<bullet ID="1">
<tip>This is the first tip for Capital Markets.</tip>
</bullet>
<bullet ID="2">
<tip>This is the second tip for Capital Markets</tip>
</bullet>
</column>
<column title="Environment Industry and Company Markets">
<bullet ID="3">
<tip>This is the first tip for Environment, Industry and Company
Markets.</tip>
</bullet>
</column>
The html output should look something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Capital Markets</td>
<td>Environment, Industry and Company Markets</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>This is the first tip for Capital Markets</td>
<td>This is the first tip for Environment, Industry and Company Markets</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>This is the second tip for Capital Markets</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Thank you for any help.
