Re: [xsl] loop in creation of table

In my eyes there is a better way to reach the same:

<xsl:template match="parent-of-subsystem_id">
 <table border="1">
  <tr><xsl:apply-templates select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 =
1]"/></tr>
  <tr><xsl:apply-templates select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 =
2]"/></tr>
  <tr><xsl:apply-templates select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 =
3]"/></tr>
  <tr><xsl:apply-templates select="subsystem_id[position() mod 4 =
0]"/></tr>
 </table>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="subsystem_id">
 <td><xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
 <xsl:if test="position()=last()">
  <td colspan="{16 - position()}">&#160;</td>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I like to avoid <call-template>s ;-)

You could do this at follows, but there will surely be more elegant
solutions:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="make-row">
<xsl:with-param name="elements"
select="//subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 1]" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="make-row">
<xsl:with-param name="elements"
select="//subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 2]" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="make-row">
<xsl:with-param name="elements"
select="//subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 3]" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="make-row">
<xsl:with-param name="elements"
select="//subsystem_id[position() mod 4 = 0]" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="make-row">
<xsl:param name="elements" />
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="$elements">
<td><xsl:value-of select="." /></td>
</xsl:for-each>
<td colspan="{16-count($elements)}" />
</tr>
</xsl:template>
