RE: [xsl] table column

I've done this...

<xsl:template match="item">
  <xsl:param name="cols" select="2"/>

  <xsl:if test="position() % $cols = 1">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;tr&gt;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:if>
  <td>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </td>
  <xsl:if test="position() % $cols = 0 or position() = last()">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/tr&gt;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps,
Dave.
