This is an XSLT question, not really related to FOP. http://xml.apache.org/fop/maillist.html#xslt-mulberry
You're violating XML structure like this (just like M$ does with WordML). That's why you're getting the error. You can't program spaghetti-code-style in XSLT the way you were trying. Everything is highly hierarchical. You should put the table-cell in a named xsl:template where you can pass in the node to use for the address. Then maybe you can do something along these lines, for example: <xsl:for-each select="//client"> <xsl:if test="position() mod 3 = 0"> <!--only take every third node--> <fo:table-row> <xsl:call-template name="my-cell"> <xsl:with-param name="my-node" select="."/> </xsl:call-template/> <xsl:call-template name="my-cell"> <xsl:with-param name="my-node" select="following-sibling::client[1]"/> </xsl:call-template/> <xsl:call-template name="my-cell"> <xsl:with-param name="my-node" select="following-sibling::client[2]"/> </xsl:call-template/> </fo:table-row> </xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> Untested and without guarantees! Get a good XSLT book. I recommend "XSLT and XPath - On The Edge" by Jeni Tennison. On 24.09.2004 12:05:04 Frank Daly wrote: > Hi > > I want to create an Avery labels report.
