hi there,
i have an rss feed that i would like to split into 2 coloums 5 news items on each side. im currently using the default dot net nuke style sheet which is as follows;

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="<xsl:eek:utput method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="TITLE"/>

<xsl:template match="rss">
<!-- Do not show channel image -->
<xsl:for-each select="channel/item">
<br>

<strong><a href="{link}" target="_main"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></a></strong><br></br>

<!-- only display markup for description if it's present -->
<xsl:value-of select="description"/>

</br>
<br></br>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="description">
<br>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</br>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

[0] What a thread that we had worked together, k5tm! Must have both had been in very good form to inspire that kind of answers. Going through it makes me feel even my handle like a 3rd person.

[1] The question raised here is of simpler nature. Besides, I would have some comments on it pertinent to the script shown.
[1.1] There is nothing of the kind as non-empty <br></br>. It is not html. So you have to rewrite it.
[1.2] Do you know the template matching "description" actually is dummy and never being called?

[2] This is how you get the desired result. The script also implicitly show how description template is made good use of.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="[ignore][/ignore]">
<xsl:eek:utput method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="TITLE"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<!-- note: Since the border is "0", one wouldn't see the case when there is no node to fill the right-hand-side td; else, you have check its presence. If it is absent, put &nbsp; there to make table look normal -->
<table border="0">
<xsl:apply-templates select="rss" />
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="rss">
<!-- Do not show channel image -->
<xsl:for-each select="channel/item[position() mod 2 = 1]">
<tr>
<td>
<strong><a href="{link}" target="_main"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></a></strong><br />
<!-- only display markup for description if it's present -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="description" />
</td>
<td>
<strong><a href="{following-sibling::item[1]/link}" target="_main">
<xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::item[1]/title"/></a></strong><br />
<!-- only display markup for description if it's present -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::item[1]/description" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="description">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
