RE: [xsl] Can't solve the following XSL transformation

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The first stage is a classical grouping problem: see
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping for advice on using Muenchian
grouping in XSLT 1.0, or use the new xsl:for-each-group instruction in 2.0.
(Note, XSLT 1.1 doesn't really exist, it was a working draft that wasn't
followed up).

Insert the page breaks in a second pass through the data. This is a little
tricky (I use it as an exercise on courses) and requires processing the
sequence using recursion, passing a parameter in the recursive call that
indicates the number of lines processed so far.
