use the position() mod 3 syntax with an <xsl:choose> block. thus: <xsl:when test="posion() mod 3 = 0">, then output the start tag, and <xsl:when test="position mod 3 = 2">, then output the end tag.

I have a list of data, that might be 3 items long or 100. Instead of a list I want to put this into an HTML or FO table where I have 3 columns and as many rows as is needed. I have a for-each that selects all the items that I want and I know what the markup is to generate, but I'm having troubles coming up with a solution for inserting the row start and end tags. This is an example of what I'm doing: <table> <xsl::for-each select="item"> <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> </xsl:for-each> </table> How do I get a counter inside that allows me to insert the appropriate start or end tag? Is there an easy way to force for-each to work with X number of items at a time (give me a nodeset of X items) that I could then process? I've got an HTML hack that allows me to enter just an empty <tr/> element, but that is relying on bad HTML to make this work, also my ultimate goal is to generate FO tables for PDF output. Any ideas appreciated. ..dan XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
