I am re-creating a medical form which outputs exactly 23 rows per page (i.e., if there are 3 rows of data, 23 nodes are output; if there are 24 rows of data, 46 nodes are output, w page one having 23 rows of data, and page 2 having one row of data filled/22 rows empty, etc.).


Uhh, requirements straight out of hell...
You can compute the number of rows necessary to make the total number
a multiple of 26 using the mod operator, and fill the missing rows
using the wendell-piez-method or a recursive template:

<xsl:for-each select="DETAILLINE"> <fo:table-row height=".8cm" border=".5pt solid {$varColor}" border-collapse="collapse" line-height="22pt"> <fo:table-cell text-align="center" border-bottom=".5pt solid {$varColor}"> <fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="DOSFROM/MM"/> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> .. </fo:table-row> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:variable name="detail-count" select="count(DETAILLINE)"/> <xsl:if test="($detail-count mod 23) != 0"> <xsl:for-each select="//node()[position() < (24 - ($detail-count mod 23))]"> ... add empty rows ... </xsl:for-each> </xsl:if>

There should be multiple alternative, possibly more elegant
and/or correct formulations of the solution. If performance
is bad, switch to a recursive template (the XSLT FAQ has it
all).
