Exactly. This is a VFAQ and standard l0ser trap. XSLT works on a node tree, not on XML strings. You try to generate tags by using d-o-e. This works if the tree is serialized to a string and reparsed. In Cocoon (and other applications), the constructed result tree is passed to the next pipeline stage without being serialized. What you think of "tags" is still text. > I > need it because I have the following xml : > > <data> > <number>1</number> > <number>1</number> > <number>1</number> > <number>1</number> > <number>1</number> > <number>1</number> > </data> > > and I want a table with 3 numbers in each row, there can be from 1 to 300 > numbers. This problem occurs very often and is known as "grouping by position". Look into the XSL FAQ: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/ The standard solution is ... <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell/> <xsl:for-each select="number[position() mod 12=1]"> <xsl:for-each select=".|following-sibling::number[position() < 12]"> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block font-size="12pt" text-align="end" padding-bottom="10pt"><xsl:value-of select="."/></fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </xsl:for-each> <xsl:for-each> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> Repeat: XSLT operates on nodes, not on strings with tags. You can't create half a node. You have to understand this in order to use XSLT efficiently, especially in the Cocoon environment.
