Re: [xsl] Counting nodes processed

["Joerg Heinicke" <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

<xsl:template match="TopicOwner">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="Category"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="Category">
    <xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates
select="Topic[count(../preceding-sibling::Category/Topic) &lt; 5]"/>

I realized that my xml description was slightly different.  There's a new
twist.  The xml description is now similar to the following:
>
> <Root>
>   <TopicOwner id="1" name="owner1">
>      <Category id ="1" name="Sports">
>         <Topic id="1" name="Basketball"/>
>         <Topic id="2" name="Football"/>
>         <Topic id="3" name="Baseball"/>
>      </Category>
>      <Category id="2" name="FooCategory">
>         <Topic id="4" name="FooTopic"/>
>      </Category>
>   </TopicOwner>
>   <TopicOwner id="2" name="owner2">
>     <Category id="2" name="Entertainment">
>         <Topic id="4" name="Puzzles"/>
>         <Topic id="5" name="Games"/>
>     </Category>
>   </TopicOwner>
> </Root>
>

problem is still the same.  I want to retrieve only X number of topics for
each owner.  So, assuming I want to retrieve 4 topics per owner, the output
should be
>
> Owner1
>   Sports
>      Basketball
>      Football
>      Baseball
>   FooCategory
>      FooTopic
>
> Owner2
>   Entertainment
>      Puzzles
>      Games
