uuups, this happened when I transferred from my real files to the simplified
example.
My real templates match "data" and "item", NOT "data/item" and "item", and
there are lots more of nodes within item which are tested and evaluated in
both templates, but all this does not have to do with the real problem
(sorting and grouping) so I reduced my problem to the smallest possible and
made this error while doing it.
I should have tested with the reduced example...
Sorry for the extra-bothering...
It really looks like:
<xsl:template match="data">
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="item[position() mod 2 = 1]">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select=". |
following-sibling::item[position()=1]"/>
<xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::item[position()=1])">
<td> </td>
</xsl:if>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item">
<td><xsl:value-of select="name"/></td>
</xsl:template>
