Re: [xslt] How to implement unusual chunking in a stylesheet

[John Hurst <ajh hawthorn csse monash edu au>]

G'day Peter,

Something like?

<xsl:template match="item">
   <xsl:for-each select="node">
     <item><node><xsl:apply-templates select="."/></node></item>
   </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
