}  <td>text1c</td>

}  <tr>
}  <td>text2a</td>
}  <td>text2c</td>
}  </tr>
}  </table>

Is that _really_ what you want? where is text1c supposed to come from,
which isn't in the source file?

I suspect that given the input

<data>
<row><column1>text1a</column1><column2>text1b</column2><column3>text1c</column3></row>
<row><column1>text2a</column1><column2>text2b</column2><column3>text2c</column3></row>
</data>

you want to cut out column 2 and fabricate a header row, like so:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<table>
<tr>
<th>column1</th>
<th>column3</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>text1a</td>
<td>text1c</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>text2a</td>
<td>text2c</td>
</tr>
</table>


In case that is what you meant, it was generated by



<xsl:stylesheet 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0";
  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40";
  result-ns="">

<xsl:template match="data">
<table>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="row[1]/*[not(position() = 2)]">
<th><xsl:value-of select="qname(.)"/></th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</xsl:template>


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

<xsl:template match="row/*[position()=2]">
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="row/*[not(position() = 2)]">
<td>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</td>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>
