Hi Gerrit,
(responding to both emails)

No, XSLTB  2.
B Its just I have forgotten so much. It is not clear to me where in the
code I create the row.B  I will try:
For each ...
B B B  new row
B B B  B B B  four plates dealt with
B B B  end row
</xsl for each ?

Thanks for the quick answer.

Are you looking for an XSLT 1 solution?

In XSLT 2 or 3, you can do, when in stamp context: <xsl:for-each-group
select="plate" group-adjacent="(@number - 1) idiv 4">, and create a
row for each group.

If you tune the .block width so that 4 of them fit into a .row, you
can also set flex-wrap:wrap in .row, then you need not create div.row
at all.

This is likely in the archives but I have forgotten how to use them.
Among the other things I have forgotten since I turned 80 is how to a
put set of elements into rows for HTML output. I want to put what
four <plate> elements conjure into each row; the number of< plate>
elements in each <stamp> element varies. The <plate> element
references the identity of a jpeg that will be put on the page. I
want four jpegs in each row.

my css is:

.row {
B B  width: 100%;
B B  display: flex;
B B  flex-direction: row;
B B  justify-content: center;
}

My input XML is a long list of <stamp> elements with <plate> children.
....
<stamp >
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="1"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="2"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="3"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="4"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="5"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="6"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="7"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <plate number="8"/>
</stamp>
....

and my XSLT dealing with this withinB <xsl:template match="stamp"> is:
<div class="row">
B B B B B B B <xsl:for-each select="plate">
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B <div class="block">
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B <aB

'.jpg')}">
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  <img

src="{concat('plates/',@number, 't.jpg')}"/>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  </a>
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B  </div>
B B B B B B B B B  </xsl:for-each>
B B  </div>

Works fine for four or fewer <plate> elements, but more than that
makes a mess
Any help appreciated,
Mark
