Hi,
I have the following XSL which is displaying a number of news articles in a single column. I am really struggling to work out how to change the code to display just the top 6 articles in 2 rows/3 columns.
<div style="color:Black;background-color:White; <pre>

[/code]
I have tried to use the following-sibling syntax but cannot seem to get it to work - I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
kind regards
Tony
