This is my XML

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<detail>
<title>
<link>a</link></title>
<title>
<link>b</link></title>
<title>
<link>c</link></title>
<title>
<link>d</link></title>
<title>
<link>e</link></title>
</detail>


This is my XSL
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//title">
<xsl:value-of select="link"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


This gives me an output "a b c d e" but I only need to be able to print a b and c only and not all of them. How do I control my xsl:for-each loop?

select="(//title)[4 > position()]"

Thanks that worked

This looks similar to what I'm trying to achieve. From the narrative, I need to print out the last nodes which determined by a variable.

Basically the opposite of what eruditionist http://p2p.wrox.com/images/statusicon/user_offline.gif was trying to achieve. I need the last few nodes

dont worry, figured it out.

I used this - <xsl:for-each select="$dcr[$numPr+1 &lt; position()]">
</xsl:for-each>

I spoke too soon. This...

did not work. it returns all the nodes
