Hi all,

I have an XML document with a list of names.

Something like this

<NAMES>
  <NAME> Jean Dupont </NAME>
  <NAME> Marie Laforêt </NAME>
  <NAME> Celine Dion </NAME>
  <NAME> Carlos Santana </NAME>
    ...
</NAMES>

I want to create an XSLT stylesheet that could output the names in a HTML table with 2 names per row

Something like this

+---------------------------------+
| Jean Dupont | Marie Laforêt |
| Celine Dion | Carlos Santana |
+---------------------------------+

There can be an arbitrary number of names and I can't modify the XML structure (but I can add attributes to it if it helps)

I'm quite new in XSLT and I don't know if such a thing would be possible without too much complexity.

Thanks to anyone that could help ...

especially the first entry.

That was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot !
