Jeremy,

You had the right idea with position() -- the first <sense> in the doc would be position() = 1. If you mean something else, please post a small input sample.


<xsl:variable name="first" select="1" />
<xsl:template match="sense">
<xsl:if test"$first=1">
<br />
<xsl:variable name="first" select="0" />
</xsl:if>
<div><xsl:apply-templates /></div>
</template>

This doesn't work in XSL -- variables can't change their value once set. They're "variables" in the sense of mathematical variables which have a specific, non-changing value throughout a computation, rather being variables in the sense of imperative laguage variables that can have a different value at different points of a computation.
