Re: [xsl] fixed position

[Wendell Piez <wapiez at mulberrytech dot com>]

Meltem:

<xsl:template match="data">
   <xsl:for-each select="item[not(.='Solution')][position &lt; 4]">
     <xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ')"/>
   </xsl:for-each>
   <xsl:text>Solution </xsl:text>
   <xsl:for-each select="item[not(.='Solution')][position &gt; 3]">
     <xsl:value-of select="concat(., ' ')"/>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

(Not tested.) Note that this will insert "Solution " in fourth place even 
if it didn't exist among the <item> elements. I'll leave what to do to 
prevent this as an exercise....

Cheers,
Wendell
