Grouping Using group-ending-with
The last grouping style is group-ending-with. This is similar to
group-starting-with, only we’re
specifying the condition that ends each group.
We’ll use this technique to insert items into a three-column HTML
table. Each row in the table is created from a group; each group will
have no more than three members. We handle the special case of a row
with less than three members (count(current-group()) lt 3) by using a
simplified version of our list of cars:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- carlist.xml -->
<cars>
<make>Alfa Romeo</make>
<make>Bentley</make>
<make>Chevrolet</make>
<make>Dodge</make>
<make>Eagle</make>
<make>Ford</make>

<make>Nash</make>
<make>Opel</make>
<make>Pontiac</make>
<model>Quantum</model>
<model>Rambler</model>
<make>Studebaker</make>
</cars>There are 19 cars in our list, so the final group should have only one item in it. Here’s the stylesheet:
