The following has worked for me before:

		<xsl:if expr="(childNumber(this) % 5) == 1">

Subject: counting and displaying with xsl?


Hi,

Is there any way to use xsl to count the number of items in my 
xml? I'd like to know this so I could arrange them according to their 
number (e.g. have a line break every 5 items).
I think of something like
<xsl:if "count > 5">
	ARRANGE NORMAL
<xsl:if-otherwise>
	LINEBREAK
	ARRANGE NORMAL
...

Juggy
