[xsl] Changing table output from horizontal to vertical

Subject: [xsl] Changing table output from horizontal to vertical
From: "Mark" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2011 09:50:58 -0700
Hi,
I am using an XSLT template to produce an XHTML table. Currently, the
stylesheet fills the table in a horizontal direction; I would like to fill
the table in a vertical direction. The data is in two languages, but my
XHTML exposes only one language at a time. Because I currently have 27
<Item> elements in each language, each list of <Items> by language currently
consists of three columns of nine <Items>. However, the number of <Items>
could change. My current template, with its input and output, is shown
below.

Also, it would be very helpful to put the English in one table and the Czech
in another (move the 'lang' attribute from the <h4> to the <table>).

Suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

My Template:
<xsl:template match="Item[(position()-1) mod 3 = 0]">
   <tr>
     <td>
       <xsl:element name="h4">
         <xsl:attribute name="lang" select="@lang"/>
         <xsl:element name="a">
           <xsl:attribute name="href" select="@file"/>
           <xsl:value-of select="@concept"/>
         </xsl:element>
       </xsl:element>
     </td>

<xsl:for-each select="following-sibling::node()[position() &lt; 3]">
<td>
<xsl:element name="h4">
<xsl:attribute name="lang" select="@lang"/>
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href" select="@file"/>
<xsl:value-of select="@concept"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
