I corrected my xml: (the number and order of maintextX and marginaliaX varies): It was still not well formed. And I disambiguated the data values to illustrate the correct values were being used in the result. My PDF output should look like this: Forgive me but I don't know what you want where you say "nested table:". Yes, all of the elements have unique names. I'm assuming they have to have something in common, say the prefix "marginalia", otherwise there is no determinant trigger. As I said earlier, you need to use group-starting-with="" in order to infer structure from a flat set of constructs. I hope the example below (in HTML) helps. I'll leave the XSL-FO as an exercise. The crux of your issue is how the XSLT works. When you look at the resulting HTML below you'll see your table as you've indicated above. . . . . . . . . Ken
