Hi Yan,

an example:

<nodes> 
    <node> 1</node>
    <node> 2</node>
    <node> 3</node>
    <node> 4</node>
    <node> 5</node>
    <node> 6</node>
</nodes> 

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> 
    <xsl:template match="/nodes"> 
        <table> 
            <xsl:apply-templates select="node[position() mod 2 = 1]"/> 
        </table> 
    </xsl:template> 

    <xsl:template match="node"> 
        <tr> 
            <td> <xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
            <td> <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::node[1]"/></td>
        </tr> 
    </xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet> 

You match only on every second node, so you know where to close and open
<tr> . And while processing these nodes you select their value and the value
of the next one.

Joerg
