Wow!

I'm new to this stuff so this really threw me for a loop.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on but now I see the power
of XPath.

Can anyone recommend some good books that will help/teach cool tricks like
this?

Thanks a lot,
Paul

This worked for me. 

<xsl:template match="whatever" > 
	<xsl:apply-templates select="somenode[position() mod 6 = 1]"
mode="row" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="somenode" mode="row" > 
	<tr> 
		<xsl:apply-templates  select=". |
following-sibling::somenode[position() &lt; 6]"  mode="column"  /> 
	</tr>
</xsl:template> 


<xsl:template match="somenode" mode="column" > 
	<td> 
		Matched
	</tr>
</xsl:template>

How can I insert conditional html?  I want to iterate over a set of nodes
("rows" in the example below) and format a table row for every sixth item.

I tried the following, but of course its an unbalanced xml file:


<xsl:for-each select="rows">
  <xsl:if test="(position() mod 6) = 1">
    <tr>
  </xsl:if>

  <xsl:value-of select="someNode"/>

  <xsl:if test="(position() mod 6) = 0">
    </tr>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
