how to obtain this output using XSLT

jastao · September 1st, 2011, 07:59 PM

I currently have a fieldgroup with several field tag listed below.

<fieldgroup cols="3">
<field>
<field>
<field>
<field>
<field>
</fieldgroup>

How can I create a html table so that it will create a new table row for every 3 field tag

<table>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks.

I think this will give you desired output:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="fieldgroup">
    <table>
      <xsl:for-each-group select="*"
                 group-ending-with="*[position() mod 3 = 0]">
        <tr>
          <xsl:for-each select="current-group()">
            <td>
              <xsl:apply-templates  select="field"/>
            </td>
          </xsl:for-each>
        </tr>
      </xsl:for-each-group>
    </table>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
