RE: two columns in a table from one

You'll find the solution in the FAQ at
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7450.html#d204e66

(though admittedly it isn't easy to find: DaveP, can you fix this?)

<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 5 = 1]">
<tr>
  <xsl:apply-templates
     select=".|following-sibling::item[position() < 5]"/>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each>
