Send a cheque first, then you'll get your file.  /8-)


Your script uses for-each... it would be simpler to abstract the
template that renders the items from the for-each (there might be
scope for reuse there anyway) and put it in it's own template.

Once you've done that you could do:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="channel/item[position() &lt; 20]"/>

to give you the first 20.


Do you see?
