Yes. I see that your problem is one of imposing an explicit structure where only an implicit structure exists.
Start with this link "http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200012/msg00175.html";.

Subject: Re: recursive template call, howto
Charles,
Thank you, that gets me very close, except...
When I transformed the xml using the style sheet you provided, I got this:
<table>
<tr><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td></tr>
<tr><td>7</td></tr>
<tr><td>8</td></tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>5</td></tr>
<tr><td>6</td></tr>
</table>
The problem is that the two simple groups that came after the complex
group (lines 7 and 8) need to be in their own table after the complex
group, like this:
<table>
<tr><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td></tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>5</td></tr>
<tr><td>6</td></tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr><td>7</td></tr>
<tr><td>8</td></tr>
</table>
