Re: [xsl] Limiting XSL Results for Timely Web Page Display

["Bruce Dailey" <bruce@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My idea of creating a temporary file with the search results would not
work - that is, if there is more than one user.

So to rephrase the problem: I need to have the XSL transformation take
an XML file and search on a string in an element and then produce HTML
output for 
1. items that match the search text and
2. that are in a certain range - for timely web page display

e.g.

<dictionary>
<word>A</word> <word>B</word> <word>A B</word>
<word>A B C</word> <word>B D</word> <word>A B C D</word>
</dictionary>

If I want 2 items per page and the search value is 'A':

Then on the first call to the XSL I would request matches 1 to 2 then
the XSL would output:
<p>A</p>  <p>A B</p>
Next (hyperlink to previous results)

The next request would be for items 3 and 4, etc.
<p>A B C</p>  <p>A B C D</p>
Prev

I can see how to match on values and how to get the position of items
but my problem is that I cannot figure how to get a set of matches and
then only output a subset of those matches based on their position.

Would "for-each" be the way or do I need to create a new "element"?
