Sorry I wasnt clear.
the "position() mod 2" will ring true for odd numbers, and false for even
numbers....or the other way around (I always get confused about that)..
Point is, given a list of X elements, I want to render them as such:
X1 X2
X3 X4
X5 X6
X7 X8
X...
So, if position() is odd (left column) render this part:
<tr>
<td>Some odd X</td>
And since the next one will be even, it will close the row:
<td>Some even X</td>
</tr>
Basically, the only difference is the <tr> on the odd side, and the </tr>
on the even side.
I do not just want this for 2 column rows though, I'd like to be able to
use "position() mod 4" (for example) to give each row 4 columns.....so
basically at some point I need something like:
<xsl:if test="some condition">
</tr>
</xsl:if>
and the same with <tr>, the problem is that cause the <tr> </tr> tags to be
in strange places and it fouls up the nesting, which causes XSLT errors....
Does that make any more sense? I could explain it in 30 seconds if I had a
napkin and a pen.
