AW: [xsl] how to add a cell in a for-each iteration?

["Thomas Bayer" <bayer at oio dot de>]

hi,

just test, if the current item isn't last one inside the for-each.

     <xsl:for-each select="list/item">
         <xsl:value-of select = "."/>
         <xsl:if text="position()!=last()"> | </xsl:if>
     </xsl:for-each>
