Hy Julian,

it should output this certain table every time an article element exists, with the title of the article
at the top of the table, and then depending on the existence of a sect1 element, adding the elemnts in it and so on.

At the moment it looks like this,without the article/title as a headline in my document. :

---CODE---

<xsl:template match="article">
	
	
	  <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="610" height="48">
		 
		 <tr>
			<td rowspan="2" height="48" width="162"><xsl:apply-templates select="mediaobject[@id='titel']"/></td>
			<td height="28" width="100%" id="mainColor"></td>	
		</tr>
		 
		 <tr>
			<td height="20" width="100%" id="hiColor"><xsl:apply-templates select="mediaobject[@id='box']"/></td>
			<td></td>
		</tr>
	  </table>
		
	  <table width="610" height="48" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="sectBackground">

		<tr>
			<td colspan="3" height="20" width="610" id="white" align="right"><xsl:apply-templates select="link"/></td>
		</tr>
		   <xsl:choose>
			  <xsl:when test ="mediaobject[@id='contentpicture']"> <!-- sollte es kein Bild geben wird der Abstand zum Kategorietitel verringert -->
			 <tr>
				<td colspan="3" height="10"><img src="fake.kill/img/pixel.gif" height="10" width="610" /></td>  
			</tr>	
				<xsl:apply-templates select="mediaobject[@id='contentpicture']"/>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
			  <tr>
				<td colspan="3" height="25"><img src="fake.kill/img/pixel.gif" height="10" width="610" /></td>  
			  </tr>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		    </xsl:choose>
	   </table>
		
		
	<xsl:apply-templates select="sect1[@lang = $lang or not(@lang)]"/>

  </xsl:template>
		
	<!-- ************SECT1 PROCESSING CONTENT ************** -->
		
	<xsl:template match="article/sect1[@lang= $lang or not(@lang)]">	
		<table width="610" height="48" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="sectBackground">
		 		 
		 		 <!-- MARKED POSITION FOR ARTICLE TITLE -->
		 		  <xsl:apply-templates/>

		</table>
				<xsl:apply-templates select="../note[@lang= $lang]"/>
		
					
	</xsl:template>
	
	<!-- ************SECT1 PROCESSING CONTENT END*********** -->
...
---CODE--

I want to add the article title at the marked position. But if I do it that way, I have the title in every sect1 element of course.
So I thought I could make the template for matching an article a little bit longer, that it includes the start of the table, and then just put the title at its position.
But now I see that this cannot work and I don't want to create a whole new table for a single title.

So how would you do it? 

Thanks.
