Subject:  modulus operator


Hello,

Does XSLT have a modulus operator?

I am generating an HTML page containing a long list of links from an XML
document.  I would like all the links to appear on one screen in order
to avoid scrolling.  I'd like about 7 links per line.

With an modulus operator, I can achieve this pretty easily as follows:

<xsl:for-each select="*">
   <a><xsl:attribute name="href"/><xsl:value-of
select="...."/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="...."/></a>
   <xsl:if test="counter % 7 == 0">
      <br/>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

If XSLT does not have a modulus operator, is there a
way to produce the desired effect?

Thank You and Best Regards,

S. Perugini
