Re: [xsl] using a param to determine how many columns to output...

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

The trick to producing tables with $c columns is to say that you want to
make a row for every $c'th element and that row contains the results of
processing that element and its $c -1 following siblings the FAQ will
have more examples, but basically:

<xsl:for-each select="something[position() mod $c = 1]">
<tr>
 <xsl:apply-templates select=".|following-sibling::something[position()
&lt; c]"/>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>

assuming the templates for the <something> elements make the <td> or you
could use a nested for-each of course.
