Hi Brad,

that works very well and it's very easy to understand!
I just had to change  <xsl:when test="following-sibling::mc[1]/@type eq
'C'" >
to  <xsl:when test="following-sibling::mc[1]/@type =  'C'" >

@George Cristian Bina
Yours is great too, but the other one fits better, thanks.

Thanks

Sven

I take a direct (non-clever) approach. This works. . .

Subject: 2 columns with special conditions

Hi,

i have a "little" problem.
I try to get a two column layout where all elements with type F live in
column one and elements with type C in column two. Special thing is that
you have watch the order. How can i achieve case 2 and 3?

Thanks in advance
Sven

xml:
case1:

<mc name="1" type="F"/>
<mc name="2" type="C"/>
<mc name="3" type="F"/>
<mc name="4" type="C"/>
<mc name="5" type="F"/>
<mc name="6" type="C"/>

=>
(first column always type F, second type C)

1	2
3	4
5	6

there is no problem, template works.


case2:

<mc name="1" type="C"/>
<mc name="2" type="C"/>
<mc name="3" type="F"/>
<mc name="4" type="C"/>
<mc name="5" type="F"/>
<mc name="6" type="C"/>

=>

-	1
-	2
3	4
5	6

case3:

<mc name="1" type="F"/>
<mc name="2" type="C"/>
<mc name="3" type="F"/>
<mc name="4" type="F"/>
<mc name="5" type="F"/>
<mc name="6" type="C"/>

=>

1	2
3	-
4	-
5	6

my xsl:
....
<xsl:template match="step">
	<xsl:for-each select="descendant::mc[position() mod 2 = 1]">
		<tr>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of
select="self::node()[@type='F']/@name"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::node()[position()+1 and @type='C']/@name"/>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
...
