Why doesn't <xsl:for-each select="*[position()&lt;last()] work?


I am unable to get an example to work from a tutorial I grabbed and I do not
know why. The troubling line is "<xsl:for-each
select="*[position()&lt;last()]">". 

I am using Cocoon2 to translate the code and the output is set to HTML,
which is why I substituted the Hex codes with "<br />". Would you know why I
am having problems?

the hex codes are not recognized -->
