Call template at every fifth element?

[Frédéric Tremblay <ft...@eonmediainc.com>]

Hi, i want to make a HTML table with 5 column and n rows with a XML like
this:

<root>
	<test number="1">
	<test number="2">
	<test number="3">
	<test number="4">
	<test number="5">
	...
	<test number="100">
</root>

so i want to make a table with 5 column and n rows, at every 5 element
i want a new row. How can i do this? Can i call a template with the first
element, the sixth and so on automaticaly? I try a lot of think but the
problem
is to open and close the row with <tr> and </tr>...

Thanks a lot!

Fred

there is an example on the xslt faq page:

E.g. for a five column table:

<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 5 = 1]">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates 
     select=".|following-sibling::item[position() < 5]"/>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each>
