XSLT: Split into multiple columns

[Gary Johnson]

I am wanting to create an HTML table using XSLT that looks like: -

-------------
| A | B | C |
-------------
| D | E | F |
-------------
| G | H | |
-------------

based on some XML that looks like:

<items>
<item>A</item>
<item>B</item>
<item>C</item>
<item>D</item>
<item>E</item>
<item>F</item>
<item>G</item>
<item>H</item>
</items>

.... and (as you can probably guess from the fact I am writing this!) I
can't work out how to do it. Anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks
G

try with position() or mod() functions

use position() function (and "mod" math function)
