How to loop through a range?

I'm trying to loop through a range in a node set, but I can't get it to work. This is what I have so far, I'm not sure what else to try... Thanks

Code:

<xsl:variable name="Items" select="//Item" />

// Start at 4 and stop at 6  (These are ten items in the set)
<xsl:for-each select="$Items[position()>3 and $Items[position()<=6]">

Your code looks fine except that of course "<" needs to be escaped as "<".

Sorry, just looked at it more carefully - the brackets don't match so of course it's not fine. Should be

select="$Items[position()>3 and position()<=6]"
