Outputting a line break is easy: <xsl:if test="position() mod 5 = 1"><br/></xsl:if> Other kinds of "grouping into sets of 5" are a bit more tricky, you need something like <xsl:template match="item[position() mod 5 = 1]"> <h2>Here are five items</h2> <ul> <xsl:apply-templates select="self::item | following-sibling::item[position() < 5]" mode="one-of-five"/> </ul> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item" mode="one-of-five"> <li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li> </xsl:template> Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
