I know my sample data was a bit small but there are a lot more nodes in
my actual data set. Here's an attempt at a better example:
<users>
<user name="alf"><lines>7</lines></user>
<user name="bert"><lines>78</lines></user>
<user name="charlie"><lines>731</lines></user>
<user name="derek"><lines>62</lines></user>
<user name="edward"><lines>93</lines></user>
<user name="fred"><lines>823</lines></user>
<user name="george"><lines>42</lines></user>
<user name="harry"><lines>28</lines></user>
<user name="ian"><lines>553</lines></user>
<user name="joshua"><lines>92</lines></user>
<user name="kevin"><lines>108</lines></user>
<user name="luke"><lines>192</lines></user>
</users>
should give the output:
<table>
<tr>
<td>fred (823)</td>
<td>charlie (731)</td>
<td>ian (553)</td>
<td>luke (192)</td>
<td>kevin (108)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>edward (93)</td>
<td>joshua (92)</td>
<td>bert (78)</td>
<td>derek (62)</td>
<td>george (42)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>harry (28)</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here is an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet making use of exslt:node-set:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
exclude-result-prefixes="exsl"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="cols" select="5"/>
<xsl:param name="min-lines" select="25"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="users"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="users">
<xsl:variable name="sorted-users-rtf">
<data>
<xsl:for-each select="user[lines > $min-lines]">
<xsl:sort select="lines" data-type="number" order="descending"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>
</data>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="sorted-users"
select="exsl:node-set($sorted-users-rtf)/data/user"/>
<table>
<tbody>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$sorted-users[position() mod $cols
= 1]" mode="row"/>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="user" mode="row">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select=". |
following-sibling::user[position() < $cols]" mode="cell"/>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="user" mode="cell">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(@name, ' (', lines, ')')"/>
</td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I think libXSLT supports exsl:node-set.
