RE: [xsl] Accessing nth element

You can use apply-templates.  The trick is to add a select when you apply
templates:

<xsl:apply-templates select="*[position() &lt; 4]"/>

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="root">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<b>Less than four:</b> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[position() &lt; 4]"/>
<br/>
<b>Fifth:</b> <xsl:apply-templates select="*[5]"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
	<item>one</item>
	<item>two</item>
	<item>three</item>
	<item>four</item>
	<item>five</item>
	<item>six</item>
</root>
