RE: [xsl] can't conditionally format first occurence of a no

Thanks for your reply.  Here's an input sample and two stylesheets which
don't quite work.

Sample xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TEI.2>
<text>
<body>
<entryFree>
<otherstuff1>stuff1</otherstuff1>
<otherstuff2>stuff2</otherstuff2>
<otherstuff3>stuff3</otherstuff3>
<sense n="1">blah1</sense>
<sense n="2">blah2</sense>
<sense n="3">blah3</sense>
</entryFree>
</body>
</text>
</TEI.2>

This stylesheet puts the <br />'s in the wrong place (not before the
first <sense>.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="sense">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<br /><br /><br />
</xsl:if>
<br /><div><b><xsl:value-of select="@n"/></b>.
<xsl:apply-templates /></div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This stylsheet puts the <br />'s in the right place but doesn't include
the "otherstuff" content.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="entryFree">
<xsl:apply-templates select="orth" />
<xsl:for-each select="sense">
<xsl:if test="position()=1">
<br /><br /><br />
</xsl:if>
<br /><div><b><xsl:value-of select="@n"/></b>.
<xsl:apply-templates /></div>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
