Graham WoodsSubject: Help in formatting output HTML
Author: Graham Woods

Transforming XML --> HTML. I have a problem in formatting the final part of the HTML. I've attached the input XML, the XSLT and the output HTML. The input contains a large number of repeating <AdditionalInfo> groups. I need to re-format the output HTML so that the AdditionalInfo appears down the page rather than across it. Perhaps 4 AdditionalInfo's on each line would be ideal but, failing that, one below the next is acceptable.

Can it be done?

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Create a new template:
<xsl:template match="AdditionalInfo">
<tr>
<td>TextLabel</td>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="TextLabel"/></td>
<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::AdditionalInfo[position() &lt; 4]">
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="TextLabel"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>AddInfo</td>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="AddInfo"/></td>
<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::AdditionalInfo[position() &lt; 4]">
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="AddInfo"/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:template>

----
To call it, your original part in your table becomes:
<tr>
<td>AdditionalInfo</td>

<xsl:for-each select="OtherData">
<td>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<xsl:apply-templates select="AdditionalInfo[(position() mod 4) = 1]"/>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>

Honestly, this looks somewhat messy.
Option 2:
<tr>
<td>AdditionalInfo</td>
<xsl:for-each select="OtherData">
<td>
<table border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Text Label</th>
<th>Add Info</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="AdditionalInfo">
<tr>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="TextLabel"/></td>
<td><xsl:apply-templates select="AddInfo"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
