Thanks Andreas,

I've had a go at implementing your suggestion, but without success. The problem seems to be that your suggestion requires nesting xsl:template instructions since this segment needs to sit within html and that within the primary xsl:template. Apparently template instructions can be nested,
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200105/msg00766.html
But my experiments along these lines have not worked.
I also tried leaving out the template instructions, and addressing the select instructions in full, but this didn't work either.

So is it possible to nest templates?

Cheers,

Andrew Glass

My xsl now looks like this:

<xsl:template match="/bamiyan">

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Bamiyan Scribes</title>
    </head>
    <body>
	<div align="center">
	<h3>Syllables with Modified Vowels</h3>
	<table width="60%" border="1">
		<xsl:template match="/scribe[1]/modified">
		<xsl:for-each select="data[position() mod 5 = 1]">
		<tr>
		<xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::data[position() &lt; 5]" />
		</tr>
		</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:template>

		<xsl:template match="/scribe[1]/modified/data">
		<td width="20%">
		<i>&#xA0;<xsl:value-of select="rm"/></i>&#xA0;
		<span style="font-size: 22pt"><font face="Schoyen01"><xsl:value-of select="kh"/></font></span>
		</td>
		</xsl:template>
	</table>
	</div>
    </body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
