Terence,

As it happens, when I have

    <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="leaf"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()[1]" mode="leaf"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()[2]" mode="leaf"/>
</td>
</xsl:template>
...

However, when I use

<xsl:template match="context[position() mod 3 = 1]" mode="group">
<td>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="leaf"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::context[1]"
mode="leaf"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::context[2]"
mode="leaf"/>
</td>
</xsl:template>

As suggested by Jeni, I get what I want.

Remember that the node() node test matches *any* node, including text nodes, including whitespace-only text nodes. The presence of such nodes will throw off your count, if you haven't figured them in. Specifying following-sibling::context[1] picks only the first <context> following sibling, not the first following sibling of any node type, so the count is more dependable.


Cheers,
Wendell
