Re: Tables Again

How about the following. If you change 3 to some other "N" 
value for the <xsl:variable> named "n" at the root, then 
it should work for you for any n = 1 ... ? 
 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"> 
<xsl:variable name="n">3</xsl:variable> 
 
<xsl:template match="/"> 
<table border="1"> 
<xsl:apply-templates select="doc/data"/> 
</table> 
</xsl:template> 
 
<xsl:template match="*[(position()-1) mod $n = 0]"> 
  <tr> 
    <td> 
      <xsl:value-of select="@value"/> 
    </td> 
    <xsl:for-each select="from-following-siblings(*[not(position() > ( $n - 1 
))])"> 
      <td> 
        <xsl:value-of select="@value"/> 
      </td> 
    </xsl:for-each> 
  </tr> 
</xsl:template> 
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject: Tables Again From: John Kohler <jkohler@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 05 May 99 07:54:06

We have a document like this:
<doc>
  <data value="AA"/>  <data value="BB"/>
  <data value="CC"/>  <data value="DD"/>
  <data value="EE"/>  <data value="FF"/>
  <data value="GG"/>  <data value="HH"/>
  <data value="II"/>  <data value="JJ"/>
  <data value="KK"/>  <data value="LL"/>
</doc>

What we want is to put the data values into
an n by m HTML table with n being a hardcoded
constant and m being driven by the data:

<table>
 <tr><td>AA</td><td>BB</td><td>CC<td></tr>
 <tr><td>DD</td><td>EE</td><td>FF<td></tr>
 <tr><td>GG</td><td>HH</td><td>II<td></tr>
 <tr><td>JJ</td><td>KK</td><td>KK<td></tr>
</table>

We've tried about every permutation possible
but haven't come up with the right one yet.

Any help or example would be greatly appreciated.
