Oh well perhaps now is not a good time to mention

					<xsl:choose>
						<xsl:when
test="position() mod $splitafter = 0">
							<!-- Ugly -
don't look -->
							<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt;</xsl:text>
						</xsl:when>
						<xsl:when
test="position() != last()">
							<!--
							<td width="5">
	
<xsl:copy-of select="$blankhtml"/>
							</td>
							-->
						</xsl:when>
					</xsl:choose>
