Subject: [xsl] FW: Two-Column XSL question From: "Thomas, Josh" <jpthoma2@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:09:14 -0600 |
I recently found this post while searching for how to do an two-column list from one-column data with XSL: The following would do the two column display you are after (however I have checked it for typos etc.) <xsl:template name="twocolumns"> <xsl:for-each select="people[position() mod 2 = 1]"> <tr> <xsl:variable name="others" select="following-sibling::option[position() < 2]" /> <xsl:for-each select=".|$others"> <td> <xsl:value-of select="person' /> </td> <xsl:if test="not($others)"> <td></td> </xsl:if> </xsl:if> </tr> </xsl:for-each> <!-- end of sorting the currencies into two columns --> </xsl:template> It worked for me, but I need some help understanding what these items are actually doing: 1- <xsl:variable name="others" select="following-sibling::option[position() < 2]" /> 2- <xsl:for-each select=".|$others"> 3- <xsl:if test="not($others)"> Thanks, Josh
