RE: Re: [xsl] output in table

The answer is the same no matter how many rows you plan to have. The details are slightly different depending on the number of columns you wish to display. You will need to use the mod operator in conjunction with the position() function to create a new row where you want one.

Sic,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" />
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="root">
    <table border="1">
      <xsl:apply-templates />
    </table>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="carrier">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="count(preceding-sibling::carrier)mod 3=0">
        <tr>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::carrier[1]/@name" /></td>
          <td><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::carrier[2]/@name" /></td>
        </tr>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise />
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
