Hi Clifton,

Match only on partition elements and check if you are on the first partition or on the first drive and in each case generate the corresponding columns with rowspan:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
    <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
    <xsl:template match="summary">
        <table border="1">
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </table>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="partition">
        <tr>
            <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::partition) and
                not(../preceding-sibling::drive)">
                <td rowspan="{count(../..//partition)}">
                    <xsl:value-of select="../@name"/>
                </td>
            </xsl:if>

            <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::partition)">
                <td rowspan="{count(../partition)}">
                    <xsl:value-of select="../@name"/>
                </td>
            </xsl:if>
            <td>
                <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="text()"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Best Regards,
George

I'm trying to build a table with three columns.  The first two may have
a rowspan attribute.  Something like this...

<table border=1>
	<tr>
		<td rowspan=5>Comp1</td>
		<td rowspan=3>Drive1</td>
		<td>Partition1</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Partition2</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Partition3</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td rowspan=2>Drive2</td>
		<td>Partition4</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>Partition5</td>
	</tr>
</table>

... from data like this...

<summary>
	<comp name="Comp1">
		<drive name="Drive1">
			<partition name="Partition1" />
			<partition name="Partition2" />
			<partition name="Partition3" />
		</drive>
		<drive name="Drive2">
			<partition name="Partition4" />
			<partition name="Partition5" />
		</drive>
	</comp>
	...  more comp  ...
</summary>

I've tried nested for-each and template matches and just can't figure
it out.  Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Cliff
