maybe it would help if I had the appropriate logic matched to the
appropriate condition O.o
corrected below :)
<xsl:apply-templates match="container">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@select > 0">
<xsl:for-each select="item">
<xsl:if test="position() <= @select">
<xsl:comment>Do your dirty business
here</xsl:comment>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:for-each select="item">
<xsl:comment>Same dirty Business</xsl:comment>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:apply-templates>

the following isn't tested and there may be a more elegant solution
but this is probably how I would handle a situation like this:

<xsl:for-each select="item">
<xsl:comment>Same dirty Business</xsl:comment>

hope that helps :)

XSLT 1.0 is a constraint.
I'm having trouble with a select expression to select the marked elements
(<!--X-->) in the following XML:
<container select="2">
<item>...</item><!--X-->
<item>...</item><!--X-->
<item>...</item>
</container>
<container>
<item>...</item><!--X-->
<item>...</item><!--X-->
<item>...</item><!--X-->
</container>
<container select="1">
<item>...</item><!--X-->
<item>...</item>
<item>...</item>
<item>...</item>
</container>
In the case of a no select attribute all items in the container should be
in the node set.
If there is a attribute select="n", only the first "n" items should be in
the node set.
The expression needs to work across all containers.
There is the additional constraint that only items with parent container
are to be selected.
Where could I start to look for code examples that solves a similar problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
