I have a large collection of articles that have multiple images. A vendor
created a "basic" style sheet that formats the images as follows:

<xsl:template match="picture">
  <IMG ALIGN="left" vspace="2" hspace="8"><xsl:attribute
name="SRC">images/<xsl:value-of select="@href" /></xsl:attribute></IMG>
</xsl:template>

Everything works fine unless the text associated with an image isn't long
enough to push the successive image "down" the page far enough. So the HTML
output produces a "stair stepping" of images and text.

I need to be able to change the style sheet to force a new line for each
image but being a "newbie," I haven't cracked the code.

Not exactly an XSLT solution, but consider putting an empty <br clear="left" /> or <br clear="right /> element into the result tree after the "text associated with an image" (which your template above doesn't show) or before the <IMG> element's start tag.
