I tried the following in Saxon 5.5.1: --- XML File --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl" ?> <doc> <item>Item1</item> <item>Item2</item> <item>Item3</item> <item>Item4</item> <item>Item5</item> </doc> --- --- Stylesheet --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output indent="yes" /> <xsl:variable name="maxItemsPage" select="3" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="//item[(position() mod $maxItemsPage) = 1]" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="item"> <group> <xsl:for-each select=". | following::item[position() < $maxItemsPage]"> <item><xsl:value-of select="." /></item> </xsl:for-each> </group> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> --- and got, as expected: --- Result --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <group> <item>Item1</item> <item>Item2</item> <item>Item3</item> </group> <group> <item>Item4</item> <item>Item5</item> </group> --- So *perhaps* it's the processor - you could try out the above to see what you get - or perhaps it's something about the context in which you're using the expression, or perhaps I've overlooked something somewhere. Feel free to send me your stylesheet if it's bothering you, although as you've found a way that works I'd just stick with that if I were you ;) I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
