How to format table like Directory Search with XSLT

[Luca]

Hi,

have a problem with xslt posted below, this stylesheet format a table
like Yahoo directory, but I need exclude (from xslt) all categ element
without sublink element (in this case category with name categ2 and
categ6 ) and format table in same manner....

I have add a variable named numrows, for dynamic display rows, is
possible?

Can help me!

XSLT Source

<!-- Definisco un numero minimo di link da produrre all'interno di
