divide info in several output files

hello everybody;

I don`t know how to face this problem:

one xml file with a long list of items (28 i.e.)
<whatever>
  <anything>ryur54wrthigyuif</anything>
  <anything>ryureicnsd45gkjuif</anything>
  <anything>ihdftuiwtusd78yrt</anything>
  <anything>..................
</whatever>

I need to output a html with a few (10 i.e.) of this itens
and a link to other page containing the next 10 and
so on til the last page including the last 8 items.

The quantity of items can be different from one xml file
to another so no quantity-dependant-solution  

is there any idea/solution for this?
thanks in advance

ani lopez
