RE: [xsl] mismatched tags with xsl:if

[Xavier Defrang <xavier at perceval dot net>]

First of all I'd like to thank you all for the feedback.

I'll explain a bit further what I'm trying to do. I actually
want to render a 3 collumns XHTML table with a list of items.
I want them to appear as follow : 

item1  item2  item3
item4  item5  item6
item7  ...

To do so, I have a for-each loop over the items that
output the <td>item</td>.  Now I have to set some
condition to generate the <tr> and </tr> every three
items.  These tags are the one I planned to put within
under a condition depending on the position() of the item
modulus 3 (the number of columns).

Here's an excerpt of my _INVALID_ stylesheet :

[snip]
<table width="100%">
<xsl:for-each select="pkg-list/pkg">
<xsl:if test="position() % 3 == 1">
<tr> <!-- Start a new rowi (ERROR!) -->
</xsl:if>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</td>
<xsl:if test="position() % 3 == 0">
</tr> <!-- End row (ERROR!) -->
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
[snip]

I'm afraid that with such a logic, none of the solution you proposed
will work because I have to enclose 3 items within a single tag pair...

Maybe do I have to re-engineer the way I iterate over the pkg sequence?
I'm not experienced enough with XSLT to figure out which way is the best
to get through it...
