Subject: RE: [xsl] Every other row with a different twist From: "Michael Kay" <mhkay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 23:04:56 -0000 |
If you can't calculate whether the row is odd or even based on its position in the input, try writing the result to an RTF and then doing a second transformation (using the node-set() extension). In the second phase you can use position() mod 2 in the normal way.
