Try :
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML><BODY>
<!-- order element is a dummy element wrapped around your data. Assumes that
there is
more than one set of addresses and makes the xml
legal -->
<xsl:for-each select="order">
<TABLE width="100%" border="0"><!-- add table header etc. -->
<!-- pass pairs of the same address child elements text to the display
template -->
<xsl:call-template name="showAddrLine">
<xsl:with-param name="addrLine" select="soldto/lastname/text() |
shipto/lastname/text()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<!-- repeat the call-template for each soldto/shipto child element -->
</TABLE>
Here's the rest of the page info ...
<!-- Add the Shipto address again, pass only shipto address child element
text to
the display template this time -->
<TABLE width="100%" border="0">
<xsl:call-template name="showAddrLine">
<xsl:with-param name="addrLine" select="shipto/lastname/text()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<!-- repeat the above for each shipto child element -->
</TABLE>
</xsl:for-each>
</BODY></HTML>
</xsl:template>
<!-- simple template to just show a part of the address. Skip the second
cell if the node set passed only contains one text node. -->
<xsl:template name="showAddrLine">
<xsl:param name="addrLine"/>
<TR>
<TD><font size="2"><xsl:value-of select="$addrLine[1]"/></font></TD>
<xsl:if test="count($addrLine) > 1">
<TD><font size="2"><xsl:value-of select="$addrLine[2]"/></font></TD>
</xsl:if>
</TR>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
No doubt there are ways of putting the complete shipto info complete with
formatting tags into a variable for re-use .... and a way of looping through
each child element to save repeating the call-template but I'll leave that to
you.
