> For some reason I could not get David Carlisle's method to work. perhaps because, depending on how charitable you're feeling, my answer was unduly cryptic, or wrong. The general model is to do what I posted [position() mod 5 = 1] but I failed to observe that your existing selection wasn't a single step foo/bar[position() mod 5 = 1] selects every 5th element child of each foo, whereas you wanted every 5th item in the sequence so that's (foo/bar)[position() mod 5 = 1] but it's probably simpler to use for-each-group anyway, as (because the initial items are mot selected with a simple step) you'd have to use a correspondingly more complicated expression to select the following ones (or did as I posted in 2nd reply) use the compartively more expensive following axis rather than following-sibling.
