re: Simple group slicing in XSLT

3 templates! I can name that tune in 1 template :-)

This method uses an xsl:for-each construct to get the desired results:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<group>

<xsl:for-each select="group/item[position() mod 2 = 1]">

<slice>

<item>

<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>

</item>

<xsl:if test="following-sibling::item[1]">

<item>

<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[1]/text()"/>

</item>

</xsl:if>

</slice>

</xsl:for-each>

</group>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Nice work! :)

I have the xsl:apply-templates vs. xsl:for-each post in the backlog - I promise I'll get to it soon.
